Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to make the "Universe Telnet Service" that runs on our IBS Application server, to only use 128bit
block Ciphers, and disable the other lower 64bit block ciphers? The service listens on port 992.
The problem is that our Qualys VUN scanning tool is picking up that port 992 is a security risk against
Birthday attacks against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size vulnerability (Sweet32) and goes on to say
"Disable and stop using DES, 3DES, IDEA or RC2 ciphers.
We believe that the "Universe Telnet Service" uses OpenSSL that offers out these lower level ciphers, but we have no idea how to to best address this so
that the only ciphers used are 128-bit or higher ciphers. We are waiting on our third party support to get back to us as they have opened a ticket today.
Current version of OpenSSL is OpenSSL 1.0.2m-fips 2 Nov 2017, though "Programs and Features" is saying OpenSSL 1.1.1k (64-bit) was installed on March 2021.
Universe is 12.1.1 is installed.
Thanks in advance.
