Maintainers of the OpenSSL cryptographic code library have fixed a high-severity vulnerability that made it possible for attackers to obtain the key that decrypts communications secured in HTTPS ...

Developers of the popular OpenSSL cryptographic library have closed a vulnerability that could potentially allow attackers to steal the digital keys used to decrypt HTTPs and TLS secured ...

Those using the online encryption protocol OpenSSL are urged to upgrade their client due to a recently discovered flaw, according to the OpenSSL Foundation. According to the group, the flaw, which was ...

This contents, researchers soon discovered, could include the server's private key - allowing said attacker to decrypt data from other users, or even to pose as the server itself.

The bug in the OpenSSL cryptographic library is significant because the open-source package is used to protect sensitive data in countless applications and operating systems throughout the world.

The flaw allows man-in-the-middle attackers to decrypt traffic between clients and servers that use OpenSSL ...

Critical crypto bug in OpenSSL opens two-thirds of the Web to eavesdropping Exploits allow attackers to obtain private keys used to decrypt sensitive data.

In order to exploit CVE-2014-0224 to decrypt and modify SSL traffic, attackers would need to have a “man-in-the-middle” position between a client and a server that both use OpenSSL.
