Don’t FREAK Out – Daily Security Byte EP.36

March 3, 2015 By Corey Nachreiner

I’m going to freak out if I hear about another security vulnerability in SSL…. Too late! Watch today’s episode to see whether or not you should freak about the FREAK SSL flaw.

(Episode Runtime: 2:17)

WatchGuard customers might be curious if our products are affected by FREAK. Probably not! As far as our engineers have found, we do not enable the RSA_EXPORT cipher suite in our SSL implementations. We’re continuing to check to be sure, but so far we don’t appear to be affected by FREAK.

EPISODE REFERENCES:

  • Official FREAK page and description – Freakattack
  • CVE listing for FREAK vulnerability –  Mitre
  • Good Ars Technica write-up on the FREAK flaw – Ars Technica
