Vulnerability Details:

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0224

Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by the use of weak keying material in SSL/TLS clients and servers. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted handshake to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to decrypt and modify traffic.

CVSS Base Score: 5.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See <http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93586&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
