CVE-2018-12384 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. When handling a SSLv2-compatible ClientHello request, the server doesn't generate a new random value but sends an all-zero value instead. This results in full malleability of the ClientHello for SSLv2 used for TLS 1.2 in all versions prior to NSS 3.39. EPSS estimates a 1.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
