The Mono project reports :

Mono's implementation of the SSL/TLS stack failed to check the order of the handshake messages. Which would allow various attacks on the protocol to succeed. Details of this vulnerability are discussed in SKIP-TLS post.

Mono's implementation of SSL/TLS also contained support for the weak EXPORT cyphers and was susceptible to the FREAK attack.
