Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-4000)
CWE-ID: CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt TLS connections in certain situations.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when parsing HTTP requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can conduct a man-in-the-middle attack that can lead to the target system to downgrade the Diffie-Hellman algorithm to 512-bit export-grade cryptography.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in modification of authentication information
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2183)
CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt transmitted data.
The vulnerability exists due to remote user's ability to control the network and capture long duration 3DES CBC mode encrypted session during which he can see a part of the text. In case of repeated sending the attacker can read the part and reconstruct the whole text.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to decode transmitted data. This vulnerability is known as SWEET32.
