You're referring to something different than the HTTPS/OpenVPN
attacks?  Because it really wouldn't be accurate to describe those
as vulnerabilities in the ciphers.

Hi Lowell,

Correct. And that is indeed not a vulnerability in the cipher. As far as I know all cipher suites in use that support DES or 3DES use CBC mode and are vulnerable. Disabling DES and 3DES therefore makes sense to me.

Cheers,

Bernard.
