CVE-2011-3389: The SSL protocol, as used in certain configurations in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome…
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Because a ready-made attack tool exists, priority is at least “Plan”.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 73.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.4% of all records.
- Fixed version: bouncycastle (Debian:12) 1.49+dfsg-1; curl (Debian:12) 7.24.0-1; erlang (Debian:12) 1:15.b-dfsg-1.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to bouncycastle (Debian:12) 1.49+dfsg-1; curl (Debian:12) 7.24.0-1; erlang (Debian:12) 1:15.b-dfsg-1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The SSL protocol, as used in certain configurations in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and other products, encrypts data by using CBC mode with chained initialization vectors, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers via a blockwise chosen-boundary attack (BCBA) on an HTTPS session, in conjunction with JavaScript code that uses (1) the HTML5 WebSocket API, (2) the Java URLConnection API, or (3) the Silverlight WebClient API, aka a "BEAST" attack.
