Descriptions

The CSecurityTLS::processMsg function in common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx in the vncviewer component in TigerVNC 1.1beta1 does not properly verify the server's X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a TLS VNC server via an arbitrary certificate.

La función CSecurityTLS::processMsg en common/rtb/CSecurityTLS.cxx en el componente vncviewer en tigervnc v1.1beta1 no verifica de forma adecuada el certificado X.509 del servidor, lo que permite a ataques de Hombre en medio (man-in-the-middle) para falsificar un servidor TSL VNC mediante un certificado de su elección.
