Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM HTTP Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability. GSKit in IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS) 6.0 before 6.0.0.73-ISS-ITDS-IF0073, 6.1 before 6.1.0.66-ISS-ITDS-IF0066, 6.2 before 6.2.0.42-ISS-ITDS- IF0042, and 6.3 before 6.3.0.35-ISS-ITDS-IF0035 and IBM Security Directory Server (ISDS) 6.3.1 before 6.3.1.9-ISS-ISDS- IF0009 does not properly restrict TLS state transitions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cipher- downgrade attacks to EXPORT_RSA ciphers via crafted TLS traffic, related to the 'FREAK' issue, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0204.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM HTTP Server version 8.5.5.6, 8.0.0.11, 7.0.0.39 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack level required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PI36417.
