Descriptions

VMWare VirtualCenter client 2.x before 2.0.1 Patch 1 (Build 33643) and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 Patch 1 (Build 33425), when server certificate verification is enabled, does not verify the server's X.509 certificate when creating an SSL session, which allows remote malicious servers to spoof valid servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.

El cliente VMWare VirtualCenter 2.x anterior a 2.0.1 Patch 1 (Build 33463) y 1.4.x anterior a 1.4.1 Patch 1 (Build 33425), cuando la verificación de certificados de servidor está habilitada, no verifica el certificado X.509 del servidor cuando crea una sesión SSL, lo cual permite a servidores remotos maliciosos suplantar a servidores válidos mediante un ataque de "hombre en medio" (man-in-the-middle).
