According to this article, disabling SSL  3.0 is only one way of dealing
with  the  downgrade attack.  Another  way  is for  browsers/servers  to
implement TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV  which will  make it impossible.  However, I
wonder if Fossil's  use of SSL is  even vulnerable to such  an attack in
the first  place? Fossil isn't exactly  a browser and doesn't  share any
code with  a browser (except  using an SSL  library). Anyone know  if it
is  even  susceptible? It  seems  that  the  article focuses  mostly  on
browsers/servers,  but perhaps  it  is actually  the  crypto library  at
fault?
