There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The advisory points out:
On Pulse Connect Secure gateways (SA and MAG devices) that offer Hardware Acceleration, if Hardware Acceleration feature is enabled then TLS connections may be vulnerable to a protocol handshake vulnerability. This issue could potentially allow an attacker to gain man in the middle (MITM) access between a client and the Pulse Secure server, only if they utilize a second separate exploit.
The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 38613 (TLS Client Finish Message Validation Vulnerability).
Upgrading to version 7.1r22.2, 8.0r13 or 8.1r5 eliminates this vulnerability. It is possible to mitigate the problem by applying the configuration setting Maintenance / System / Options / Disable Hardware Acceleration
. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version. A possible mitigation has been published 2 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at X-Force (105288).
