TLS 1.0 Sweet 32

I have 2 questions/issues I need to resolve.  I have a ReadyNAS 2304 running firmware 6.9.3.  We recently went through a vulnerability scan.  The following is the results of the scan and I would like to know how to resolve these.

Vulnerability  Detection  Result
'Vulnerable' cipher suites accepted by this service via the TLSv1.0 protocol: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (SWEET32)
'Vulnerable' cipher suites accepted by this service via the TLSv1.1 protocol: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (SWEET32)
'Vulnerable' cipher suites accepted by this service via the TLSv1.2 protocol: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (SWEET32)

Sweet 32 is a couple years old and I was surprised to see it since we are running the latest firmware I could find.  I thought it would have been resolved in a previous release.

The other vulnerability reported was for the key size being used.

Summary
The SSL/TLS service uses Diffe-Hellman groups with insuffcient strength (key size < 2048).
Vulnerability  Detection  Result
Server Temporary Key Size: 1024 bits

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

  • Not sure if there's a persistant way to fix this (that survives reboots, firmware upgrades, etc).

     

    But you can also report it here: https://bugcrowd.com/netgearkudos  Won't hurt, and might help.

     

    Perhaps add a reference to CVE-2016-2183 for the Sweet32 report.
