Logjam SSL Flaw – Diffie Hellman
The latest issue with SSL has been found by researchers and it is an issue with 1024 bit Diffie-Hellman key exchange. This is a man-in-the-middle attack that can also downgrade vulernable TLS connections to 512-bit Export grade cryptography. This is somewhat similar to the FREAK attack.

From my experience IIS 6 and later are not affected by this flaw, but they do not support Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) which would make them even more secure.
If you have a SSH server be sure to install the latest updates for your SSH server to protect your system.
