SSL data connection enables all supported ciphers
-------------------------------------------------
Key: FTPSERVER-97
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-97
Project: FtpServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.0-M1
Reporter: Steve Jones
The SSL implementation that is used by default for FTP data transfers
(DefaultSsl) enables all SSL cipher suites:
String cipherSuites[] = serverSocket.getSupportedCipherSuites();
serverSocket.setEnabledCipherSuites(cipherSuites);
This is likely to enable ciphers such as:
SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5
SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA
Which means that there is no confidentiality for the transport (in other words
authentication will occur but after that communication is in the clear).
Usually you would not want to allow this, so it is best not to enable all
ciphers.
