Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2015-2613

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is a Standard Extension to the Java Platform. JCE is used for implementating encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms.
CVSS Base Score: 5

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-2601

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE and Jrockit related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is a Standard Extension to the Java Platform. JCE is used for implementating encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms.

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-4000

DESCRIPTION: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session key as well as modify the contents of the traffic.
