Vulnerability discussion

Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to log into the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the non-displayed logic in a web page may expose business logic or trusted system relationships. The integrity of all the data being exchanged between the user and web server must always be trusted. To protect the integrity and trust, encryption methods should be used to protect the complete communication session.In order to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the remote sessions, HAProxy uses SSL/TLS.

Check content

At the command line execute the following command: grep -En '\sssl\s' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/*.cfg If the command does not return the two lines below, this is a finding. /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg:4: bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/apache2/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3 /etc/haproxy/conf.d/30-vro-config.cfg:2: bind :8283 ssl crt /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3

Fix text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/30-vro-config.cfg Navigate to and configure the "frontend https-in-vro-config" section with the following value: bind :8283 ssl crt /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3 Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg Navigate to and configure the "frontend https-in" section with the following value: bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/apache2/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
