[jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-3164) Thrift C++ library SSL socket by default allows for unsecure SSLv3 negotiation

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

James E. King, III updated THRIFT-3164:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
The TSSLSocketFactory allows for both SSLv3 and TLSv1 handshake.  SSLv3 is ancient and has a serious security flaw:
http://disablessl3.com/

Recommend changing the default/minimum in Thrift to TLSv1.  Add a test to prove SSLv3 client cannot connect by default, and that TLSv1_0, _1, and _2 can all connect.

THRIFT-3165 takes the recommendation a step further and suggests the default should be TLS v1.2 or later, and the third party using Thrift can decide if they want to allow less-secure ciphers.
