Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-5136)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Apple Remote Desktop before 3.7 does not properly use server authentication-type information during decisions about whether to present an unencrypted-connection warning message, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information in opportunistic circumstances by sniffing the network during an unintended cleartext VNC session.
