| Detailed Description |
The remote system does not apply RHSA-2015-1072 which is OpenSSL security update. A flaw was found in the way the TLS protocol composes the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to force the use of weak 512 bit export-grade keys during the key exchange, allowing them do decrypt all traffic.
Note: This check solely relied on the OpenSSL RPM version of the remote system to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
