Yes, it is a known issue, they updated it yesterday/some days ago. The same way as with other security patches - you download APAR (the link is on the site), untar it, install using emgr.

But this issue has nothing common with your original question. It describes a known vulnerability in RC4 cipher and describes how to fix it in AIX 7.1 TL3 SP5 and some other versions, which are listed there. Let's say you don't use ftpd, sendmail, popd and imapd on your server, but you use IBM Directory Server. Then the provided fix doesn't make any sense for your server, because it doesn't fix IBM Directory Server, which has the same problem with RC4 cipher, but fixes only the services, you don't use.

XmRemoveProtocols(library call) 										   XmRemoveProtocols(library call)

NAME

       XmRemoveProtocols -- A VendorShell function that removes the protocols from the protocol manager and deallocates the internal tables

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       #include <Xm/Protocols.h>
       void XmRemoveProtocols(
       Widget shell,
       Atom property,
       Atom * protocols,
       Cardinal num_protocols);

DESCRIPTION

       XmRemoveProtocols  removes the protocols from the protocol manager and deallocates the internal tables. If any of the protocols are active,
       it will update the handlers and update the property if shell is realized.

       XmRemoveWMProtocols is a convenience interface.	It calls XmRemoveProtocols with the property value set to the atom returned  by  interning
       WM_PROTOCOLS.

       shell	 Specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated

       property  Specifies the protocol property

       protocols Specifies the protocol atoms

       num_protocols
		 Specifies the number of elements in protocols

       For a complete definition of VendorShell and its associated resources, see VendorShell(3).
