Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2014-3570
DESCRIPTION: An unspecified error in OpenSSL related to the production of
incorrect results on some platforms by Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) has an unknown
attack vector and impact.
CVSS Base Score: 2.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99710 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-0204
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability in the OpenSSL ssl3_get_key_exchange function
could allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain TLS
connections. An OpenSSL client accepts the use of an RSA temporary key in a
non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. This could allow a remote attacker
using man-in-the-middle techniques to facilitate brute-force decryption of
TLS/SSL traffic between vulnerable clients and servers. This vulnerability is
also known as the FREAK attack.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99707 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
