A cryptographic vulnerability identified as CVE-2020-7339 was discovered in McAfee Database Security Server and Sensor versions prior to 4.8.0. The vulnerability involves the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm, specifically related to a SHA1 signed certificate (CVE Mitre, NVD).
The vulnerability stems from the implementation of SHA1 signed certificates in the system's cryptographic infrastructure. This represents a significant security risk as SHA1 has been considered cryptographically weak for several years (CVE Mitre).
The vulnerability could potentially allow an attacker on the same local network to intercept communication between the Server and Sensors, compromising the security of data exchanges (NVD).
The vulnerability requires the attacker to be present on the same local network as the affected systems to potentially exploit the weakness in the SHA1 signed certificate (CVE Mitre).
The vulnerability has been addressed in McAfee Database Security Server and Sensor version 4.8.0. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the risk (NVD).
