What is CVE-2015-0535?

The EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite is vulnerable due to improper handling of TLS state transitions, which opens the door for remote attackers to execute cipher-downgrade attacks. This issue allows adversaries to manipulate established TLS connections, potentially forcing clients to downgrade to weaker EXPORT_RSA ciphers through crafted TLS traffic. This vulnerability is related to the widely known 'FREAK' issue, which also involves similar weaknesses in cipher negotiations.
