Package : openssl1.0
Version : 1.0.2u-1~deb9u2
CVE ID : CVE-2020-1968

Robert Merget, Marcus Brinkmann, Nimrod Aviram, and Juraj Somorovsky
discovered that certain Diffie-Hellman ciphersuites in the TLS
specification and implemented by OpenSSL contained a flaw. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to eavesdrop on encrypted
communications. This was fixed in this update by disabling the insecure
ciphersuites.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.0.2u-1~deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl1.0 packages.
