APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
As described in Vulnerability Note VU#144389:
TLS implementations may disclose side channel information via
discrepancies between valid and invalid PKCS#1 padding, and may
therefore be vulnerable to Bleichenbacher-style attacks. This
attack is known as a "ROBOT attack".

This problem applies to RSA key exchange cipher suites which
start with TLS_RSA or RSA.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA46852 :
-----------------------------
Process different PKCS #1 v1.5 padding errors generated by the
ROBOT attack identically from the view point of the attacker so
discrepancies cannot be used to distinguish between valid and
invalid messages.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA46852 :
--------------------------------
On IBM i 7.2 or newer partitions, disable the RSA key exchange
cipher suites by removing them from the QSSLCSL system value.
