The Raccoon attack exploits a flaw in the TLS specification which can lead to an attacker being able to compute the pre-master secret in connections which have used a Diffie-Hellman (DH) based ciphersuite. In such a case this would result in the attacker being able to eavesdrop on all encrypted communications sent over that TLS connection. The attack can only be exploited if an implementation re-uses a DH secret across multiple TLS connections. Note that this issue only impacts DH ciphersuites and not ECDH ciphersuites. This issue affects OpenSSL 1.0.2 which is out of support and no longer receiving public updates. OpenSSL 1.1.1 is not vulnerable to this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2w (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2v).

El ataque Raccoon explota un fallo en la especificación TLS que puede conllevar a que un atacante sea capaz de calcular el secreto pre-master en conexiones que han usado un conjunto de cifrado basado en Diffie-Hellman (DH). En tal caso, esto haría que el atacante pudiera espiar todas las comunicaciones cifradas enviadas por medio de esa conexión TLS. El ataque solo puede ser explotado si una implementación reutiliza un secreto de DH en varias conexiones TLS. Tome en cuenta que este problema solo afecta a los conjuntos de cifrado DH y no a los conjuntos de cifrado ECDH. Este problema afecta a OpenSSL versión 1.0.2, que no es compatible y ya no recibe actualizaciones públicas. OpenSSL versión 1.1.1 no es vulnerable a este problema. Corregido en OpenSSL versión 1.0.2w (Afectadas versiones 1.0.2-1.0.2v).
