Vulnerability description

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
