  Microsoft releases patches for FREAK vulnerability and Stuxnet worm
Time: 12:00 EST/17:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Less than a week after acknowledging Windows was also vulnerable to a decade-old encryption flaw, Microsoft has issued a fix as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday. The vulnerability in question is known as FREAK (Factoring RSA Export Keys), and it works by forcing systems to downgrade the key length of an RSA key to 512 bits, which is easier to crack and provides a way for an attacker to intercept SSL traffic as it moves between clients and servers.
