How to prevent SSLv3/Poodle attack?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

as of today a new exploit against SSL has been revelead which is a protocol weakness of ancient SSLv3. The common advice is to disable SSLv3 so the question is how to do this with Cyrus without doing too much damage.

The first idea is of course to do something like

tls_cipher_list: ALL:-SSLv3:-SSLv2

in imapd.conf.

But i wonder if this is the correct fix because our default from Ubuntu 12.04 looks like this:

tls_cipher_list: TLSv1+HIGH:!aNull:@STRENGTH

Any comment how to safely disable SSLv3?

Regards

Andreas
