Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1e-2+deb7u14
Severity: serious
Tags: security
Newly released RFC 7465 [0] describes RC4 as being "on the verge of
becoming practically exploitable" and consequently mandates that both
servers and clients MUST NOT offer or negotiate an RC4 cipher suite, and
indeed terminate the TLS handshake if RC4 ciphers are the only ones
available.
To protect our users and comply with adopted Internet standards, openssl
in Debian should no longer include RC4 ciphers in the DEFAULT list of
ciphers, neither in Jessie nor supported stable / oldstable releases.

even better. For the upcomming 1.1.0 release RC4 is not compiled by
default unless `enable-weak-ssl-ciphers' is seleted which we don't do.
So. Since there is no RC4 starting with 1.1.0 I am closing this with the
version currently sitting exp.
