Description
Discussion Text
Although SSL-based encryption is used to protect communication between client components and vCenter Server or ESXi, the Linux versions of these components do not perform certificate validation. Even if the self-signed certificates are replaced on vCenter and ESXi with legitimate certificates signed by the local root certificate authority or a third party, communications with Linux clients are still vulnerable to MiTM attacks.
