## Abstract
There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® SDK Java Technology Edition, IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 7 Service Refresh 8 that is used the following IMS Enterprise Suite components: Connect API for Java, SOAP Gateway, and Explorer for Development. These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2015. This bulletin also addresses the FREAK: Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT keys” TLS/SSL client and server vulnerability.
## Content
**Vulnerability Details**
**CVEID:** [_CVE-2015-0138_]()
**DESCRIPTION:** A vulnerability in various IBM SSL/TLS implementations could allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain SSL/TLS connections. An IBM SSL/TLS client implementation could accept the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. This could allow a remote attacker using man-in-the-middle techniques to facilitate brute-force decryption of TLS/SSL traffic between vulnerable clients and servers.
This vulnerability is also known as the FREAK attack.
