CVE-2006-0999: Weak Encryption
First published: Thu Mar 23 2006(Updated: )
The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) allows a client to force the server to use weak encryption by stating that a weak cipher is required for client compatibility, which might allow remote attackers to decrypt contents of an SSL protected session.
