OpenSSL is used by IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for OpenVMS. IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for OpenVMS has addressed the applicable CVEs.
CVEID: CVE-2016-2183**
DESCRIPTION:** OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the Triple-DES on 64-bit block cipher, used as a part of the SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between the SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the plaintext data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.

IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for OpenVMS 3.6.0
The recommended solution is to apply the fix as soon as practical. Please see below for information about the available fixes.
VRMF | APAR | Remediation/First Fix |
---|---|---|
3.6.0 | IT22551 | Apply Fix Pack 3.6.0.5, available on Fix Central |
In versions of IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for OpenVMS older than 3.6.0.5, deselect the Triple-DES (3DES) cipher suite if it is specified in the Secure+ configuration. To avoid production outages when switching to another cipher, coordinate the configuration change to an agreed cipher with the security administrator of each remote node with which you use Secure+. The recommended cipher suite is AES128-SHA or AES256-SHA.
