The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) allows a client to force the server to use weak encryption by stating that a weak cipher is required for client compatibility, which might allow remote attackers to decrypt contents of an SSL protected session.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server SSL handling. A client could cause the server to use weaker encryption, making protected sessions potentially easier to decrypt. The main concern is confidentiality of legacy SSL traffic, not server takeover. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Novell NetWare 6.5 or Novell OES services using NILE.NLM SSL, especially where those services are reachable by untrusted networks. Prioritize if any affected Novell SSL service is internet-facing or carries sensitive data. For internal-only legacy systems, handle through risk-based remediation, segmentation, and modernization planning. Mitigation focus: Review Novell support TID 10100633 for vendor fixes or configuration guidance.; Inventory NetWare 6.5 and OES systems using NILE.NLM SSL services.; Remove, isolate, or restrict affected SSL services if vendor-supported remediation is unavailable..
