CVE-2017-1271
HighSummary
IBM Security Guardium versions 9.0, 9.1, and 9.5 supports interaction between multiple actors who negotiate which algorithm should be used as a protection mechanism, such as encryption or authentication. However, it does not select the strongest algorithm available to both parties.
Risk Assessment
The failure to select the strongest algorithm may result in the use of weaker protection mechanisms, increasing the risk of data breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to the latest version of the software that ensures the selection of the strongest protection algorithms.
