I just reported this CERT advisory to the IBMi team on IBMi 7.3 and first
response is that it does not impact IBMi?

The CERT advisory recommends that you apply a vendor patch or you disable
ALL RSA ciphers.
Obviously this will cause issues with TLS connections.

I am already seeing this vulnerability show up on our vulnerability
scanning reports.

I also noticed that when running an SSL test with SSLLabs (
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/)
our web servers, effective 2-1-18, SSL Labs will downgrade the TLS/SSL
ratings to an "F".

Anyone else seeing similar issues?
