Check Point Gaia Operating System SSLv3 Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption Vulnerability (sk103683) (POODLE)

low Nessus Plugin ID 105084

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is potentially affected by an SSL/TLS vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Gaia Operating System that is potentially affected by a man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure vulnerability known as POODLE. The vulnerability is due to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode.
MitM attackers can decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a victim application to repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.

As long as a client and service both support SSLv3, a connection can be 'rolled back' to SSLv3, even if TLSv1 or newer is supported by the client and service.

The TLS Fallback SCSV mechanism prevents 'version rollback' attacks without impacting legacy clients; however, it can only protect connections when the client and service support the mechanism. Sites that cannot disable SSLv3 immediately should enable this mechanism.

This is a vulnerability in the SSLv3 specification, not in any particular SSL implementation. Disabling SSLv3 is the only way to completely mitigate the vulnerability.

Solution

Apply the vendor supplied patch, mitigations or contact the vendor for further information.
