CVE-2015-2319
The TLS stack in Mono before 3.12.1 makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks to EXPORT_RSA ciphers via crafted TLS traffic, related to the "FREAK" issue, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0204.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.15%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
