Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2016-04-08 13:52:06 UTC
Is it possible to take this approach,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CryptoPolicy

...
In OpenSSL the cipher string "PROFILE=SYSTEM" will be used to specify the system ciphers. Any applications not explicitly specifying ciphers will use the system ciphers.

Per
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

I'd looked before, but didn't see any place where any explicit call to SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list was made, so I naively assumed things were ok by default.

So, maybe consider adding some SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list call (somewhere?) to address this?



(sorry, I'd commented on the qt one specifically before noticing this toplevel tracker)

To which version of fedora does this bug report apply. SSL 3.0 and RC4 were removed in Fedora 23.

it's fedora 22

Then I do not see any security vulnerability. Please upgrade to Fedora 23.
