| Detailed Description |
The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2w. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 1.0.2w advisory. The Raccoon attack exploits a flaw in the TLS specification which can lead to an attacker being able to compute the pre-master secret in connections which have used a Diffie-Hellman (DH) based ciphersuite. In such a case this would result in the attacker being able to eavesdrop on all encrypted communications sent over that TLS connection. The attack can only be exploited if an implementation re-uses a DH secret across multiple TLS connections. Note that this issue only impacts DH ciphersuites and not ECDH ciphersuites.
