DROWN attack against TLS

Today a new attack against TLS was published, DROWN.

In essence, it allows attackers to decrypt strong TLS connections using TLS 1.2 and other versions, if the deprecated protocol SSLv2 is supported by the server. Previous work by SBA Research has shown that this is a particular problem for email servers.
