Re: CERT Advisory: #144389 Return of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Threat (ROBOT)

I'm guessing the "update" for the software listed is a new cert without
RSA. Nothing in the software list seems to applies to the apache server
on the IBM i.

In this case it would mean just requesting and installing new certs that
are not RSA... unless I'm reading this wrong.

I also noticed that when running an SSL test with SSLLabs (

our web servers, effective 2-1-18, SSL Labs will downgrade the TLS/SSL
ratings to an "F".

Anyone else seeing similar issues?

I just ran the test on my sites and got the same thing. Running on V7R3.
My certs are quite new.

Any action you're going to be taking, Jim? Or others?
