A new class of transcript collision attacks on the use of MD5 in key exchange protocol was found in TLS 1.2. Due to several high-profile attacks against MD5, there is now consensus among certification authorities and software vendors to stop issuing and accepting new MD5 certificates. However MD5 continues to be supported in key exchange protocol for TLS 1.2 and also in IPSec and SSH-2. A almost-practical impersonation and downgrade attack was demostrated for IKEv2 and SSH-2 and also a concrete credential forwarding attack against TLS 1.2 client authentication.
