CVE-2018-0732 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ Low
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Denial of service
Description	+ During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
