VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager Multiple Java Vulnerabilities (VMSA-2015-0003) (POODLE)
Critical Nessus Plugin ID 82899
Synopsis
The remote Windows host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager installed on the remote host is affected by a man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure vulnerability known as POODLE. The vulnerability is due to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode.
MitM attackers can decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a victim application to repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.
