  - The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a
    client, does not properly convey a DHE_EXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct
    cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHE_EXPORT and then rewriting a
    ServerHello with DHE_EXPORT replaced by DHE, aka the Logjam issue. (CVE-2015-4000)
