 Details
Description: A vulnerability was reported in Dameware Mini Remote Control. The software transmits an encryption key over the network in clear text.

It is reported that the software sends a Blowfish encryption key over the network without encryption. The 2nd to last string of 16 bytes prior to the file being transferred is reportedly the file encryption key.

It is also reported that the software uses an insufficiently random generator to create the encryption key, facilitating key cracking attacks.
Impact: A remote user monitoring the network between the two encryption endpoints can determine the encryption key and gain access to the transmitted file.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
