The “FREAK: Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT keys" TLS/SSL client and server vulnerability affects the IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Technology Edition that is used by Watson Explorer, Watson Content Analytics, and OmniFind Enterprise Edition. Other IBM Java Runtime vulnerabilities affect Watson Explorer Analytical Components, Watson Content Analytics, and OmniFind Enterprise Edition.
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.
