First published: Thu Oct 24 2013(Updated: )
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.
