Description

The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHE_EXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHE_EXPORT and then rewriting a ServerHello with DHE_EXPORT replaced by DHE, aka the "Logjam" issue.

Notes

mdeslaur

USN-2624-1 disables export ciphers completely in openssl USN-2625-1 disables export ciphers in apache2 in precise

seth-arnold

USN-2639-1 disables <768 bit dh parameters in openssl

mdeslaur

USN-2672-1 disables <768 bit dh parameters in nss

sbeattie

USN-2696-1 disables <768 bit dh parameters in openjdk-7

mdeslaur

gnutls isn't vulnerable to this issue and rejects small dh keys by default. On precise and trusty, the gnutls-cli tool unfortunately sets the minimum dh size to 512 using gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(), so that must be disabled to test using the command line tool.
