IBM DB2 has addressed the applicable CVEs.
Vulnerability Details
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. You are not affected if you do not use the DB2 LDAP security plugin with SSL connection to LDAP server.
This vulnerability is also known as the FREAK attack.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
