Vulnerability Details
CVEID:
CVE-2015-7575
DESCRIPTION:
The TLS protocol could allow weaker than expected security caused by a
collision attack when using the MD5 hash function for signing a
ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS
server and obtain credentials. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as
SLOTH.
CVSS Base Score: 7.1

Workarounds and Mitigations
For CVE-2015-7575:
Users of Java 7 and later can address the issue by updating the
/jre/lib/security/java.security file as follows (both steps are required):
Add MD5 to the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g.
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024,MD5
Add MD5withRSA to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g.
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize < 768,MD5withRSA
Java 6 requires code changes in the JSSE component in addition to the
java.security file modifications, so upgrading the JDK is the only solution.
