Microsoft .NET Framework 'RC4' Information Disclosure Vulnerability (2960358). This host is missing an important security update due to the RC4 encryption algorithm used in Transport Layer Security (TLS), affecting Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, 3.5.1, 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5.X. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and recover plaintext from encrypted sessions. The vendor has released updates
