LOGJAM: TLS connections which support export grade DHE key-exchange are vulnerable to MITM attacks

A flaw was found in the way the TLS protocol composes the Diffie-Hellman exchange for both export and non-export grade cipher suites. An attacker could use this flaw to downgrade a DHE connection to use export-grade key sizes, which could then be broken by sufficient pre-computation. This can lea...

NSS: incorrectly permited skipping of ServerKeyExchange (MFSA 2015-71)

It was found that NSS permitted skipping of the ServerKeyExchange packet during a handshake involving ECDHE Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key Exchange. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the forward-secrecy of a TLS/SSL connection...

BSA-2015-1935

Security Advisory ID : BSA-2015-1935 Component : TLS protocol 1.2 Revision : 5.0 The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHEEXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHEEXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct...

SSL/TLS: "Invariance Weakness" vulnerability in RC4 stream cipher

The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, does not properly combine state data with key data during the initialization phase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks against the initial bytes of a stream by sniffing network traffic...

Unjam the logjam

Security Unjam the logjam Share June 9th, 2015 When a browser and website communicate over a secure connection, they encrypt and decrypt the data using a shared symmetric encryption key; the same key is used for encryption and decryption. In order for the browser and server to make sure they use...

TLS protocol man-in-the-middle attack vulnerability

TLS Transport Layer Security is a set of protocols used to provide confidentiality and data integrity between two communicating applications. A security vulnerability exists in the TLS protocol version 1.2 and earlier. When the server enabled the DHEEXPORT cipher suite, the program failed to...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-0971

The DER parser in Suricata before 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash via vectors related to SSL/TLS certificates...

Microsoft windows Schannel weak Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key length sensitive information disclosure vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is a popular operating system. A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows Schannel when a 512-bit weak Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key length is used in an encrypted TLS session, which allows remote attackers to decrypt the weak key and obtain sensitive information by...

JDK: ephemeral RSA keys accepted for non-export SSL/TLS cipher suites (FREAK)

IBM JDK Java Denial of Service Vulnerability

IBM Java is a JRE runtime environment. An unspecified security vulnerability in the IBM JDK Java Virtual Machine's Socket Extension Provider for handling TLS and SSL connections allows attackers to conduct denial-of-service attacks by exploiting the vulnerability...

Salt (SaltStack) modules/splunk_search.py create() certificate validation bypass vulnerability

SaltStack is a new infrastructure platform management tool. The create function in SaltStack modules/splunksearch.py fails to properly validate x.509 certificates, allowing remote attackers to forge certificates to spoof TLS/SSL servers and conduct communication interception attacks...

Asterisk Open Source/Certified Asterisk Certificate Validation Vulnerability

Asterisk is a free software, open source software that implements the functionality of a telephone user switch PBX. Asterisk Open Source has a security vulnerability due to a failure to properly handle domain names in the CN field of an X.509 certificate when registering a SIP TLS device. Allowin...
