This Alert Is From MOXA

As Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption continues to proliferate, cybersecurity has become one of the top priorities. The Moxa Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) takes a proactive approach to protect products from cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Moxa PSIRT investigates all reports of vulnerabilities that could potentially affect Moxa products. Moxa created a vulnerability management policy to provide guidance and information to our customers in the event of a reported vulnerability. The management policy ensures that Moxa’s customers have steady, unambiguous resources to help them understand how Moxa resolves or mitigates reported vulnerabilities.

The DES and Triple DES ciphers, as used in the TLS, SSH, and IPSec protocols and other protocols and products, have a birthday bound of approximately four billion blocks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to get cleartext data via a birthday attack against a long-duration encrypted session, as demonstrated by an HTTPS session using Triple DES in CBC mode, also known as a "Sweet32" attack.
