It's NONSENSE.


Nonsense for MS IE users as well?

Yes.


I just ran a test on my Win2K box, with IE 6.0.  IE 6.0 attempts to
negotiate the following ciphersuites:

                (0x000004) SSL3/RSA/RC4-128/MD5
                (0x000005) SSL3/RSA/RC4-128/SHA
                (0x00000a) SSL3/RSA/3DES192EDE-CBC/SHA
                (0x010080) SSL2/RSA/RC4-128/MD5
                (0x0700c0) SSL2/RSA/3DES192EDE-CBC/MD5
                (0x030080) SSL2/RSA/RC2CBC128/MD5
                (0x000009) SSL3/RSA/DES56-CBC/SHA
                (0x060040) SSL2/RSA/DES56-CBC/MD5
                (0x000064) TLS/RSA-EXPORT1024/RC4-56/SHA
                (0x000062) TLS/RSA-EXPORT1024/DES56-CBC/SHA
                (0x000003) SSL3/RSA/RC4-40/MD5
                (0x000006) SSL3/RSA/RC2CBC40/MD5
                (0x020080) SSL2/RSA/RC4-40/MD5
                (0x040080) SSL2/RSA/RC2CBC40/MD5
                (0x000013) SSL3/DHE-DSS/DES192EDE3CBC/SHA
                (0x000012) SSL3/DHE-DSS/DES56-CBC/SHA
                (0x000063) TLS/DHE-DSS_EXPORT1024/DES56-CBC/SHA

The article you quoted talked about SSL doing no encryption and SSL
not using certs.  All of IE's ciphersuites listed above use certs
with RSA or DSA (DSS) public keys for authentication, and use at
least 40 bit encryption.  So, I conclude that neither mozilla nor
IE 6.0 are vulnerable to either of the above concerns.
