Tracker summary

CVE-2015-2808 severity important: SUSE including 230 source package names (java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.36-1.13.8.1.el7_1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo-1.6.0.36-1.13.8.1.el7_1, …), 533 product×package rows across 79 product lines (HPE Helion OpenStack 8, Image SLES12-SP5-Azure-SAP-BYOS, … (79 product lines)): Fixed 338, Known Not Affected 195.

Description:

The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, does not properly combine state data with key data during the initialization phase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks against the initial bytes of a stream by sniffing network traffic that occasionally relies on keys affected by the Invariance Weakness, and then using a brute-force approach involving LSB values, aka the "Bar Mitzvah" issue.
