CVE-2013-4030

First published: Tue Jan 21 2014(Updated: )

Integrated Management Module (IMM) 2 1.00 through 2.00 on IBM System X and Flex System servers supports SSL cipher suites with short keys, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack against (1) SSL or (2) TLS traffic.
