BlackBerry issues security notice for OpenSSL FREAK vulnerability
BlackBerry has now officially issued a security notice for the OpenSSL vulnerability better known as “FREAK”. Early reports had suggested that some BlackBerry operating systems (in addition to Android, iOS, OS X some of which have already been patched) were vulnerable to the attack which could theoretically be used to intercept what should be a secure HTTPS connection and downgrade the encryption to “export-grade”, which is much easier to crack.
