Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Mono.
Software Description:
– mono: Mono is a platform for running and developing applications
Details:
It was discovered that the Mono TLS implementation was vulnerable to the
SKIP-TLS vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to perform client impersonation attacks. (CVE-2015-2318)
It was discovered that the Mono TLS implementation was vulnerable to the
FREAK vulnerability. A remote attacker or a man in the middle could
possibly use this issue to force the use of insecure ciphersuites.
(CVE-2015-2319)
It was discovered that the Mono TLS implementation still supported a
fallback to SSLv2. This update removes the functionality as use of SSLv2 is
known to be insecure. (CVE-2015-2320)

circumstances. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Mono to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to obtain sensitive
information. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2011-0992)
It was discovered that Mono incorrectly handled hash collisions. A remote
