Microsoft – All Windows versions Vulnerable to FREAK Vulnerability

Recently discovered FREAK vulnerability that apparently went undetected for more than a decade is reportedly affecting all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft issued an advisory published Thursday warning Windows users that Secure Channel stack the Windows implementation of SSL/TLS is vulnerable to the FREAK encryption-downgrade attack. Microsoft said it is “actively working” with its Microsoft Active Protections Program partners to protect its users from FREAK. Google developers released an updated version of Chrome for Mac that can’t be forced by attackers to use the older, weaker 512-bit RSA.
