** Summary changed: - Fails to connect to irc.slack.com with an SSL error + Fails to connect to servers that disable SSLv3
** Description changed: + SRU REQUEST: + + [Impact] + + Xchat-Gnome (and xchat) for the use of SSLv3. Since the Poodle attack on + SSLv3, many servers are now disabling the use of SSLv3, making xchat- + gnome unsable to connect successfully. + + [Test Case] + + Install xchat-gnome and connect to an irc server that no longer offers + SSLv3. + + [Regression Potential] + + This update may possibly introduce compatibility issues with sites that + don't properly handle TLSv1.2 negotiations. While such sites existed in + the past, they aren't likely to be common at the present time. + Unfortunately, there is no ultimate solution that would be compatible + with both scenarios. + + + Original report: + slack.com is a chat service with optional IRC integration. Since today I can no longer connect to their IRC gateway using XChat-GNOME. The error is: > * Nepavyko prisijungti. Klaida: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number > Ar tai tikrai SSL šifravimą palaikantis serveris ir prievadas? which, translated from lt_LT, means > * Cannot connect. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number > Does the server/port really support SSL? I think this is part of the fallout of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE). XChat-GNOME is trying to use the insecure SSL protocol version 3, and Slack, reasonably enough, rejects that.
