New SSL vulnerability "Poodle" and the Userportal

Hi all,

I just found out about poodle and tested my UTM for it: It sure is vulnerable... and of course the Userportal is exposed. The Webadmin is not available form outside though.

As long as there is no fix from Sophos is it advisable to just disable SSLv3 in the httpd.conf under /var/sec/chroot-httpd/etc/httpd ?, i.e. make the "SSLProtocol all -SSLv2" to a "SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3" like on any other Apache Webserver?

All the best,

  • Or are you saying you should not publish the UserPortal to the WAN side?

    My comment was short on details, wasn't it?  I was just making an observation about WebAdmin in a semi-joking fashion.  Thanks for the tip!

    Cheers - Bob
