CVE-2017-3969
Abuse of communication channels vulnerability in the server in McAfee Network Security Management (NSM) before 8.2.7.42.2 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to decrypt messages via an inadequate implementation of SSL.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
