Descriptions

The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier supports the rsa_fixed_dh, dss_fixed_dh, rsa_fixed_ecdh, and ecdsa_fixed_ecdh values for ClientCertificateType but does not directly document the ability to compute the master secret in certain situations with a client secret key and server public key but not a server secret key, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof TLS servers by leveraging knowledge of the secret key for an arbitrary installed client X.509 certificate, aka the "Key Compromise Impersonation (KCI)" issue.

El protocolo TLS 1.2 y versiones anteriores soporta los valores rsa_fixed_dh, dss_fixed_dh, rsa_fixed_ecdh y ecdsa_fixed_ecdh para ClientCertificateType pero no documenta directamente la habilidad para computar el secreto maestro en determinadas situaciones con una clave de cliente secreta y una clave pública de servidor pero no una clave secreta de servidor, lo que facilita a atacantes man-in-the-middle suplantar servidores TLS aprovechando el conocimiento de la clave secreta para un certificado cliente X.509 arbitrariamente instalado, también conocido como problema "Key Compromise Impersonation (KCI)".
