SSL vulnerabilities on CentOS System

0 votes
541 views

Following 2 vulnerabilities were detected in VA scan required for PCI compliance:

  1. SSL Weak Cipher Suites Supported
  2. SSL Medium Strength Cipher Suites Supported

I'm using CentOS 5.8 with open ssl version "openssl-0.9.8e-22.el5_8.4". Any idea how to get rid of this?

Are you using SSL /https?
If so, edit the SSL settings to remove the offending ciphers. Where else are you using SSL - check configs for ciphers supported.

You have far more security issues with your system than just providing weak SSL ciphers, because you are not up to date. The current CentOS 5 minor release is 9 with a fair amount of additional bug and security
updates. Update ASAP (`yum update').

Does anyone have LibreSSL working on CentOS 6.5?

Has anyone gotten this working? I have it compiling no problem, but removing OpenSSL is another story of course. It seems to be compiled with FIPS support and of course there is no such thing in LibreSSL - that is something they tore out

SSL: two certs for the same service depending on the address

We need to migrate to new address. Some time we need to listen on 2 domains. Is there any way to have two certs for the same service depending on the address?

Currently my SSL config is this:

SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
SSLVerifyClient="none"
SSLProtocol="TLSv1+TLSv1.1+TLSv1.2"
ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA"

File system re-sizing with cloud-init on centos or redhat.

Has any one used resizefs module with cloud-init on centos/redhat before? How to call it with #cloud-config user data, do I need to give it any parameters? I googled cloud-init, but it is pretty difficult to find a manual/book on this, and mostly they are Ubuntu based.

If possible, I'd like to use a same image/AMI to boot up instances(VMs) with different disk size setup, and let cloud-init to take care of increasing partition size, and file system re-sizing. Is it possible for centos/redhat?
