Vulnerability discussion

Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules utilized. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified and cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised due to weak algorithms. The use of TLS provides confidentiality of data in transit between the application server and client. FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions include TLS V1.0 or greater. TLS must be enabled and non-FIPS-approved SSL versions must be disabled. NIST SP 800-52 specifies the preferred configurations for Government systems.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep ssl.use-sslv /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf If the value of "ssl.use-sslv2" and "ssl.use-sslv3" are not "disable", this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf. Configure the lighttpd.conf file with the following two values: 'ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"' 'ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable"' Note: Both values must be present.

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.
