arbitrary cipher, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to determine the MASTER-KEY value and
decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle, a related issue to
CVE-2016-0800.
- CVE-2016-0704: An oracle protection mechanism in the get_client_master_key function in s2_srvr.c
