Published: January 20, 2017


Vulnerability identifier: #VU5215
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3568
CWE-ID: CWE-749
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force SSLv3 usage.

When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be configured to send them. A remote attacker can force SSLv3 usage and perfom a variety of attacks against SSLv3 protocol

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
