Summary
The "FREAK: Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT keys" TLS/SSL client and server
vulnerability (CVE-2015-0138) may affect IBM WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition.
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.
