Table of Contents

SSLv3 and TLS1.0 implementations using Chained-block ciphers (CBC) may be vulnerable to plain-text recovery attacks. When predictable IVs are used in CBC mode, an attacker can leverage this in more advanced attacks as demonstrated in the ‘BEAST’ attack.

Remediation

There are two ways to remediate this issue:

Option 1

Disable TLS 1.0 completely to enforce TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.

Option 2

Leave TLS 1.0 support enabled, but disable Chained Block Ciphers.
