Hello,

Regarding the POODle vulnerability, i disabled SSLv3 in almost all the apache server we are using in our organization. But in one of the server i see the SSLProtocol entry is not there. instead we have SSLCipherSuite only enabled like below

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL


If we add one more line like
SSLProtocol -ALL -SSLv3 +TLSv1 in the configuration, will it disable the SSLv3.
While it disbale the SSlv3 whether the SSLCipherSuite fuctionality will be changed?

or since we are using only the SSLCipherSuite , we need to change the SSLCipherSuite line to disable the SSLv3.

Since i dont know much about the SSLCipherSuite , i am seeking for help.Please kindly help me.

All i want is there should not any change in the congiguration except disabling the SSLv3

Thanks,
Rasheed

Thank you for sharing the information.
like redhat given i disabled the SSlv3 by using the entry SSLProtocol -ALL -SSLv3 +TLSv1 in apache.
previously it was SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
After that all my webservers are not vulnerable.

In one webserver, we didnt have SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
we have only SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

hence could you please tell us adding this entry SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1 itself is enough or i need to change anything in the SSLCipherSuite line.
