    descriptionAccording to its version, the installation of IBM Tivoli Directory Server on the remote host is prior to 6.1.0.47 / 6.2.0.22 / 6.3.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by one or more of the following vulnerabilities : - A custom LDAP client can be created which causes IBM Tivoli Directory Server to crash by sending a malformed paged search request. (IO15707, IO16001, IO16002) - In the default Tivoli Directory Server environment, with TLS enabled, the NULL-MD5, and NULL-SHA ciphers are enabled by default. (IO16035, IO16036, IOO15761)

    NASL idTIVOLI_DIRECTORY_SRV_NULL_CIPHER.NASL
    descriptionThe IBM Tivoli Directory Server hosted on the remote host supports TLS NULL-MD5 or NULL_SHA ciphers. This allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to trigger unencrypted communication via the TLS handshake protocol. Note that this version of Directory Server likely has other vulnerabilities (i.e., CVE-2012-0743), but Nessus has not checked for those issues.
