FREAK is a client-side TLS downgrade vulnerability in OpenSSL's ssl3_get_key_exchange function. OpenSSL releases before 0.9.8zd, 1.0.0p, and 1.0.1k incorrectly accept a temporary RSA key supplied by a server in a non-export RSA key-exchange cipher suite. This permits an active attacker to cause a vulnerable client to use weak EXPORT_RSA parameters despite the negotiated suite not being an export suite.
