ESA-2014-158: RSA BSAFE® Micro Edition Suite and SSL-J Triple Handshake 
Vulnerability
 

EMC Identifier: ESA-2014-158
 
CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-4630
 
Severity Rating: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
 
Affected Products:
RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) all 4.0.x versions prior to 4.0.6
RSA BSAFE SSL-J all versions prior to 6.1.4
 
Unaffected Products:
RSA BSAFE MES 4.0.6 and 4.1
RSA BSAFE SSL-J 6.1.4
 
Summary: 
RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite and SSL-J contain updates designed to prevent 
Triple Handshake attacks (CVE-2014-4630)
 
Details: 
There is a known potential vulnerability in the TLS protocol where it is 
possible for a malicious server to impersonate a client to another server using 
the client?s credentials and successfully perform a man-in-the-middle attack on 
the third handshake. See original advisory for more details: 
https://www.secure-resumption.com/
 
MES 4.1, MES 4.0.6 and SSL-J 6.1.4 are designed to include a fix which 
disallows a change of server certificate when renegotiating.
 
Recommendation:
RSA recommends that customers on MES 4.0.x upgrade to MES 4.0.6 or to MES 4.1 
and those on SSL-J 5.1.x and SSL-J 6.x upgrade to SSL-J 6.1.4 at the earliest 
opportunity.
 
Credits:
The Triple Handshake attack was originally found by Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, 
Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Alfredo Pironti from the Prosecco research team at 
INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt.
