Description
The SSL protocol 3.0 uses nondeterministic CBC padding, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, also known as the "POODLE" issue. This allows an attacker to decrypt some encrypted contents under certain conditions. The conditions of successful exploitation are somewhat similar to the BEAST attack, which requires several conditions to be met for successful exploitation, including a man-in-the-middle position in the network and the ability to direct the victim client to send many repeated requests to the vulnerable server on behalf of the attacker. Due to the conditions required of a successful attack scenario, the risk of exploitation is not particularly high.
Recommendations
For OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.1i, update to a version newer than 1.0.1i to mitigate the risk.
For PAN-OS versions 6.1.1 and earlier, update to a version newer than 6.1.1 to mitigate the risk.
For PAN-OS versions 6.0.7 and earlier, update to a version newer than 6.0.7 to mitigate the risk.
For PAN-OS versions 5.1.x and 5.0.x, update to a version newer than 5.1.x and 5.0.x to mitigate the risk.
For EOS versions 4.12.0 through 4.12.7.1, update to a version newer than 4.12.7.1 to mitigate the risk.
For EOS versions 4.13.0 through 4.13.6, update to a version newer than 4.13.6 to mitigate the risk.
For other affected products, update to a version that includes a fix for the POODLE issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of SSLv3 protocol until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the vulnerable server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the SSLv3 protocol in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
