I can nominate three suspects:

  1. Your OpenSSL version does not support/define SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3.
  2. Your scanning tool is confused/lying. SSLv3 is actually disabled.
  3. Your Squid mishandles SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3 or your configuration.

To detect #1, you can grep source code of your OpenSSL version for the
said constant.

To detect #2, you can try establishing an SSLv3-only connection to your
Squid https_port using OpenSSL s_client. Sorry, I do not have an exact
s_client command handy.

I cannot give you specific instructions for #3 detection, especially for
such an old Squid version, but a capable developer can confirm that the
configured option is applied successfully using a debugger or debugging
patches. With access to the right setup, it should not take more than an
hour or two (more without Squid knowledge).


HTH,

Alex.
