Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Man-in-the-middle attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU6853
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-4457
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct a MitM attack.
The weakness exists due to use of a default SSL/TLS certificate for the web server during installation. A remote attacker can perform man-in-the-middle attack while installing the new certificate and obtain a copy of the new private key.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability will allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
Install update from vendor's website.

2) Spoofing attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU6854
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2639
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
