Summary

The "FREAK: Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT keys" TLS/SSL client and server
vulnerability affects the IBM Runtime Environment Java" Technology Edition
that is used by Watson Explorer, Watson Content Analytics, and OmniFind
Enterprise Edition. Other IBM Java Runtime vulnerabilities affect Watson
Explorer Analytical Components, Watson Content Analytics, and OmniFind

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2015-0138
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability in various IBM SSL/TLS implementations could
allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain SSL/TLS
connections. An IBM SSL/TLS client implementation could accept 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.
