Vulnerability Description	An information disclosure vulnerability exists in multiple implementations of TLS 1.2 and earlier, when Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman cipher suites including their EXPORT versions are used. It is possible to downgrade a DHE cipher to a DHE_EXPORT cipher, which can be broken, and thereby perform a man-in-the-middle attack. This vulnerability is popularly called the 'Logjam' TLS attack. Successful exploitation would allow the attacker to decrypt the traffic and obtain or modify sensitive information.
