Recommendation: IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that enable DES/3DES cipher suites and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling DES/3DES cipher suites. You should verify disabling DES/3DES cipher suites does not cause any compatibility issues. Enable the below GSKit remediation when you cannot take the recommended action and disable DES/3DES cipher suites in your environment.
Description of Fix: The fix adds the ability to engage a GSKit remediation for this vulnerability via a system environment variable named CD_GSK_OPTIONS. To enable the remediation, set the value of this system environment variable to GSK_ENFORCE_TDEA_RESTRICTION. Than cycle (stop and restart) Sterling Connect:Direct.
Caution: The effect of this remediation is to arbitrarily break a session after 32 GB of data have been transmitted.
Aside from the GSKit remediation, CD Secure+ Admin Tool (SPAdmin) and CD Secure+ CLI (SPCli) have been enhanced to display warnings when deprecated cipher suites or protocols have been configured, which includes all cipher suites using an RC4, DES/3DES or no encryption algorithm and the SSLv3 protocol. Note that deprecated cipher suites and protocols may be disabled in a future update.
