Re: How relevant is Poodlebleed Bug to 389?

Hi David (et al),

what is the right way to do this in the DS?  (i am on 1.2.11.32)

i see under cn=config there is cn=encryption and there are nsSSL3Ciphers and nsSSLSupportCiphers (lots of these).  The documentation just shows the simple on/off for SSL/TLS.

For me, my admin server has SSL on but it is behind a firewall so I am not concerned with adjusting it.

Thanks for pointers.

From http://askubuntu.com/questions/537196/how-do-i-patch-workaround-sslv3-poodle-vulnerability-cve-2014-3566 :

Is it relevant for HTTPS only or also for IMAP/SMTP/OpenVPN and other protocols with SSL support?

The current attack vector as shown by the researchers works with controlling the plaintext sent to the server using _javascript_ being run on the victim's machine. This vector does not apply to non-HTTPS scenarios without using a browser.

Also, normally an SSL client doesn't allow the session to be downgraded to SSLv3 (having TLSv1+ seen in the handshake capabilities), but browsers want to be very backward compatible and the do. The combination with controlling plaintext and the specific way a HTTP header is built up makes it exploitable.

Conclusion: disable SSLv3 for HTTPS now, disable SSLv3 for other services in your next service window.
