New vulnerability found in SSL called “Logjam”

After Heartbleed, there is another major security issue in SSL that affects a millions of websites. The bug affects an algorithm called “Diffie–Hellman key exchange“, which allows two parties that have never met before to negotiate a shared key over an insecure channel. The vulnerability affects an estimated 8.4 percent of top one million websites, along with huge number of mail servers. A number of security researchers from different organisations and universities, have discovered a number of security issue in this algorithm, and published a report that explains about the flaw. The attacks allow man-in-the-middle (MITM) to downgrade HTTPS connections to 512-bit cryptography.
