Description

 Novell NetWare and Novell Open Enterprise Server contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to force server to negotiate a less secure SSL connection. The issue is triggered because SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM allows a client to force the server to use weak encryption by stating that a weak cipher is required for client compatibility. It is possible that the flaw may allow remote attackers to decrypt contents of an SSL protected session resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
