Last modified

CVE-2008-7270 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. OpenSSL before 0.9.8j, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled, does not prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote attackers to force the use of a disabled cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to discover a session identifier, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4180.. EPSS estimates a 3.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
