is blocked by CONTROLLER-1354 [SECURITY] LOGJAM: TLS connections wh... Resolved
External issue ID: 3585

 Description   

Openflow plugin uses TLS without restricting the cipher list to eliminate various ciphers which have been found vulnerable:

RC4 - RFC 7465
Export ciphers - LOGJAM: TLS connections which support export grade DHE key-exchange are vulnerable to MITM attacks CVE-2015-4000

This is presently being worked on the controller project as bugs 3351, 3352, 3353.

3352 should provide the relevant configuration mechanisms and utility classes for other projects to use to configure ciphers for native (not http) tls correctly.

Sorry, got the depends wrong.

This depends on 3552, not 3352

Comment by Anton Ivanov [ 09/Sep/15 ]

This is now configurable globally via a settable security property which allows to turn on/off specific protocols. This is honored by netty so it should work correctly for the openflow plugign.
