CVE-2018-12384

5.9 mediumEPSS 1.5%

Medium (5.9) in mozilla network security services. EPSS 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

When handling a SSLv2-compatible ClientHello request, the server doesn't generate a new random value but sends an all-zero value instead. This results in full malleability of the ClientHello for SSLv2 used for TLS 1.2 in all versions prior to NSS 3.39. This does not impact TLS 1.3.
