Last modified

CVE-2015-4000 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.7/10 on the CVSS scale. The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHE_EXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHE_EXPORT and then rewriting a ServerHello with DHE_EXPORT replaced by DHE, aka the "Logjam" issue.. EPSS estimates a 99.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
