Summary

IBM GSKit could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information,
caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the SSL/TLS
protocol. This vulnerability is known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2016-2183
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the
SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between the
SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a man-in-
the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the plaintext
data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is known as the
SWEET32 Birthday attack.

Workarounds and Mitigations

Use either of the following methods to disallow DES/3DES ciphers on the
directory server

A) Enable FIPS mode, or

B) Remove the following ciphers from the server configuration, ibmslapd.conf:

ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: RC4-40-MD5
ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: RC4-128-MD5
ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: RC4-128-SHA
ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: RC2-40-MD5
ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: DES-56
ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec: TripleDES-168

and set the client ciphers using the environment variable:

export LDAP_OPT_SSL_CIPHER=352F
