Re: POODLE: SSLv3 vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)


IBM i doesn't typically use the openssl library for SSL. It uses IBM's own SSL library, which is completely separate.

It's possible that you might be running some Unix software in PASE that's using OpenSSL for SSL and therefore might be susceptible to this flaw.

But I can't think of any IBM i shop that I've seen that's doing that. All are using stuff like the HTTP, Telnet, FTP, etc that are included with the OS, and they don't use OpenSSL so can't be affected by it's bugs.

How do we confirm?

If positive, is there and what is the fix?
