Hide about this portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data Platform organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

SSH Server CBC Mode Ciphers Enabled on InfraDC SSH port 8022.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Security scan has identified SSH Server CBC Mode Ciphers Enabled on InfraDC SSH port 8022.

We tried disabling CBC ciphers from java.security config file however it does not work.

Below are vulnerabilities which have been identified.

Supports following CBC Client to Server algorithm : aes256-cbc
Supports following CBC Client to Server algorithm : aes192-cbc
Supports following CBC Client to Server algorithm : aes128-cbc
Supports following Encrypt-then-MAC Client to Server algorithm : [hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com|mailto:hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com]
Supports following Encrypt-then-MAC Client to Server algorithm : [hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com|mailto:hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com]
Supports following Encrypt-then-MAC Client to Server algorithm : [hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com|mailto:hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com]
Supports following ChaCha20-Poly1305 Server to Client algorithm : [chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com|mailto:chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com]

As per RnD at the moment OSGi platform does not provide a way to set enabled algorithms (ciphers, compression, mac, signature, kex).


Request is to provide a mechanism to disable the above-mentioned vulnerabilities on InfraDC default port 8022 via configurations.
