IBM Security Bulletin: A security vulnerability has been identified in WebSphere Application Server shipped with IBM Business Monitor (CVE-2015-0138) - United States  SECURITY BULLETIN

SUMMARY
 WebSphere Application Server is shipped as a component of IBM Business Monitor. Information about a security vulnerability affecting WebSphere Application Server has been published in a security bulletin. 

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
CVEID: CVE-2015-0138 [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=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.
