Oct 14 2014, this bug CVE_2014-3566 has been found as a subtle but significant security weakness in version 3 of the SSL protocol. Severity level is Medium. Basically this vulnerability is not critical as Shellshock and Heartbleed.
The vendors’s Recommendations:
1. Check Point response to the POODLE Bites vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566):
a. Check Point Customers
- Check Point products are not vulnerable to the “POODLE Bites” vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). See our Security Alert: sk102989
- Implement the IPS protection, CPAI-2014-1909, to detect or block the use of SSL 3.0
- Configure Multi Portal, HTTPS Inspection, and Check Point OS to prevent web browser use of SSL 3.0
b. Non Check Point Customers
- Use Active Directory Group Policy Objects to disable the use of SSL 3.0
- Update your browser when a patch is available
- Disable SSL 3.0 in your clients and servers
- Test if your browser is vulnerable at www.poodletest.com
- Test if a particular domain name is vulnerable at www.poodlescan.com
2. Juniper Responding:
a. Junos:
Junos OS will update OpenSSL to add support for SSL 3.0 Fallback protection (TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV) in a future release.
Connect Secure (SA / SSL VPN) / Policy Secure (IC / UAC), MAG Series:
Please refer to Pulse Secure TSB16540 for details on mitigating risk from this vulnerability.
b. ScreenOS:
A problem report has been submitted. Development is in the process of evaluating the best method to resolve this issue.
c. Junos Space:
Disable SSLv3 by changing the following files.
/etc/httpd/conf.d/webProxy.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/webConf/webProxyCertAuth.conf
The following line needs to be updated to remove references to SSLv3:
Original:
SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
Updated:
SSLProtocol -ALL +TLSv1
Restart httpd by typing ‘service httpd restart’.
A future release of Junos Space will disable SSLv3 by default.
d. STRM/JSA Series:
Development is working on a patch to resolve this issue.
e. NSM3000/NSMXpress:
Edit /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.conf and change the SSLProtocol entry to:
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
f. IDP Signature:
Juniper has released signature SSL:AUDIT:SSL-V3-TRAFFIC in Sigpack 2430 to detect SSLv3 traffic.
