RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: tog-pegasus-2.12.0-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Pegasus CIM server now disables SSLv3 and uses TLS1.0 or later by default The Pegasus CIM server previously had no option to disable the SSLv3 protocol, which is now considered insecure. This update contains a backported upstream fix which changes the default behavior so that SSLv3 is disabled, TLS1.0 or later is used, and SSLv3 can be reenabled using the `sslBackwardCompatibility` option if necessary.

Comment 5 Alois Mahdal 2015-10-29 15:24:49 UTC 
Concerns we have raised in RHEL7 regarding scope of this change (and sslBackwardCompatibility option) apply here as well:

Patch from aforementioned bug changes the scope to "by default, accept tls1.0+ but not older".  Would it be possible to include it?

If so, should we do it in this bug or clone the other one to RHEL6.8 (ack would be granted in that case, although I do like the first option more)?

Vito, could you please set 'Fixed In Version:' field?

For now I'm assuming it's tog-pegasus-2.12.0-4.el6 (the one currently attached to erratum) but better to be sure.

Sorry, done.

Re-used the same test as in RHEL7; the new setting works fine.

No regressions found.
