Han Sahin, November 2014

Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was discovered that the server certificate validation checks
performed by EMC Secure Remote Services Virtual Edition are insecure.
Weak certificate validation allows attackers to perform a man in the
middle attack against ESRS connections. This allows for eavesdropping
on, and spoofing of provisioned devices in ESRS VE (including but not
limited to home calls to the ESRS portal esrs.emc.com).
