Vulnerability details
The NSRPC client badly checks the module size sended by the server.
An attacker in a man in the middle position can modify the module sended by the server by a weak one to the client, then bruteforce the response in order to determine his secret and the cypher key.
So the attacker can get the administrator password hash and use it to connect to the appliance.
