You should verify that applying this fix does not cause any compatibility
issues. The fix disables RC4 stream cipher by default. If you change this
setting you will expose yourself to the attack described above. IBM recommends
that you review your entire environment to identify other areas where you have
enabled the RC4 stream cipher and take appropriate mitigation and remediation
actions.
Additionally, for all InfoSphere Information Server releases, disable RC4
stream cipher usage in the Progress Software DataDirect Connect ODBC drivers.
