AIX 7.1 TL 2 : nettcp (IV73974) (POODLE)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84273

Language:

Synopsis

The remote AIX host is missing a security patch.

Description

A man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure vulnerability, known as POODLE, exists due to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. A MitM attacker can decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a victim application to repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.

Solution

Install the appropriate interim fix.
