CVE-2009-3555 is a design flaw in SSL 3.0 and TLS renegotiation, also known as Project Mogul. Pre-RFC 5746 renegotiation handshakes are not cryptographically bound to the pre-renegotiation connection. A man-in-the-middle can establish a separate connection to a vulnerable server, send attacker-selected unauthenticated application data, and splice the victim's handshake into a renegotiation. The server can then interpret the attacker-supplied prefix as having been sent in the victim's authenticated post-renegotiation session. Affected implementations included older releases of OpenSSL, Apache mod_ssl, Microsoft IIS, GnuTLS, NSS, Cisco products, and other SSL/TLS implementations.

OpenSSL insecure SSL/TLS renegotiation vulnerability addressed by RFC 5746.
A TLS/SSL renegotiation authentication-binding flaw that permits a man-in-the-middle attacker to prefix or inject attacker-controlled plaintext into a protected session, including HTTPS, by exploiting the failure to associate the initial and renegotiated handshakes. Also known as the Project Mogul issue.
TLS renegotiation man-in-the-middle vulnerability; Tomcat exposure depends on the connector's JSSE or OpenSSL implementation.
A TLS renegotiation prefix attack vulnerability addressed by secure renegotiation (RFC 5746); unpatched clients or servers remain exposed if unsafe legacy renegotiation is allowed.
