Description

The SSLv2 protocol, as used in OpenSSL before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g and other products, requires a server to send a ServerVerify message before establishing that a client possesses certain plaintext RSA data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle, aka a "DROWN" attack.

Affected products

OpenSSL: 1.0.1, 1.0.1-beta1, 1.0.1-beta2, 1.0.1-beta3, 1.0.1a, 1.0.1b (+26)
Pulsesecure Client: all versions
Pulsesecure Steel Belted Radius: all versions
