Dell Technologies recommends applying this update during your next scheduled update cycle. The update contains changes to maintain overall system health. It ensures that the system software remains current and compatible with other system modules (firmware, BIOS, drivers, and software) and may include other new features.
Disabled weak ciphers (arcfour, arcfour128, arcfour256, aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc,twofish-cbc,blowfish-cbc,3des-cbc) to avoid security vulnerabilities in firmware version 6.3.2.3 and later. So our customers are required to use the latest SSH client (terminal emulators) which supports CTR ciphers: aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, chacha20-poly1305.
