Another day, another SSL vulnerability! Google has https://poodle.io/[announced a vulnerability in SSL v3], and if you are using the "Winstone" servlet container built into Jenkins, and if you are using the HTTPS connector with the `+--httpsPort+` option (it is off by default), then you are vulnerable to this problem. +
 +
 +
I've just issued link:/security/advisory/2014-10-15/[a security advisory] on this. If you haven't already subscribed to https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Security+Advisories[the Jenkins security advisory mailing list], this is a great opportunity to do so. +
 +
 +
 +
The advisory includes the target delivery vehicles for the fix and how you can address the problem in the mean time. Inside corporate intranet, where Jenkins is typically used, I suppose there's a degree of trust among participants to make this less of a problem. But if you run an internet facing Jenkins, be sure to deploy the fix. +

(And as I write this, I've fixed all the `+https://*.jenkins-ci.org+` servers to disable SSLv3, so we are covered there)
