Fixed In Version: cups-1.3.7-32.el5_11 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, CUPS did not provide a way of disabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) support while keeping other secure protocols enabled. This left CUPS users vulnerable to the POODLE attack (CVE-2014-3566, discussed at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123), and needing to deploy the stunnel utility for mitigation (as in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1234843). This update disables SSLv3 support by default. For users who need to continue using SSLv3, an SSLOptions configuration directive has been added to the cupsd.conf file for the cupsd daemon and to the client.conf file for the client programs.
