Anyone write today on @misc and @tech about this, so I'll ask just to make 
sure: 
is OpenIKED and/or OpenSMTPD vulnerable to this new "Logjam Attack"?
This vulnerability allow "a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade vulnerable 
TLS 
connections to 512-bit export-grade cryptography" and "[Since] Millions of 
HTTPS, 
SSH, and VPN servers all use the same prime numbers for Diffie-Hellman key 
exchange"
"[using it] an attacker can quickly break individual connections" [...] 
"attacks on 
VPNs are consistent with having achieved such a break."[1]. They have a proof 
of 
concept[2] and a research paper[3].
