Description

NetScreen-Security Manager contains a flaw that may allow a remote user to obtain sensitive information. The issue is due to the Security Manager not encrypting communications between the Device Server component and ScreenOS. This potentially allows an attacker to sniff traffic between the two components and obtain sensitive information.
