Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Man-in-the-middle attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU86
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-4000
CWE-ID:
CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe 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
EUVDB-ID: #VU370
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2183
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
