  • poodle_protector.py - automatic protection against POODLE vulnerability

    Posted on

    Hi folks,

    I'm sure you all heard about the POODLE vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566) reported by Google. The possibility to decrypt/hijack sessions can be avoided by disabling the legacy SSL 2.0 and 3.0 algorithms in your Apache webserver configuration.

    Because I'm a very lazy person I created a script which can customize your configuration and restart the Apache daemon - which makes it great to use in combination with Red Hat Satellite.

    The script can be found on GitHub.

    Maybe this helps some of you with hardening systems - just wanted to share that with you.

    Best regards,
    Christian.
