PARTIAL Summary
The FortiManager protocol service in Fortinet FortiOS before 4.3.16 and 5.x before 5.0.8 on FortiGate devices does not prevent use of anonymous ciphersuites, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information or interfere with communications by modifying the client-server data stream.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

| description | The remote host is running FortiOS prior to 4.3.16 or 5.x prior to 5.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists within the FortiManager service when handling incoming requests. Using a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-2216) - A flaw exists within the FortiManager communications protocol that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker, using an anonymous cipher suite, to acquire sensitive information or otherwise impact host communications.
