Exclamation POODLE vulnerability in SSLv3

Hi Everyone,

This part is for those who does use X-Payments:

----------------
As you may already know right after OpenSSL Heartblead vulnerability a new one has been found in SSL protocol - POODLE.

The POODLE vulnerability is a weakness in version 3 of the SSL protocol that allows an attacker in a man-in-the-middle context to decipher the plain text content of an SSLv3 encrypted message.

You can read more about POODLE at
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-your-server-against-the-poodle-sslv3-vulnerability

Please note - this is NOT a vulnerability in X-Payments or X-Payments connector modules for X-Cart. This is a vulnerability in ciphering software used by almost any server in the Internet to establish secure connections.

What needs to be done:

1) X-Cart 4 users - apply xc4_xp_no_force_ssl3.diff patch to your X-Cart that will disable forced use of SSLv3 and enable automatic selection of TLS or SSL so if your hosting provider disabled SSLv3 support for your X-Payments installation your X-Cart will be able to connect with X-Payments using TLS.

Or you can download our new connectors for X-Cart 4 at
https://drive.google.com/a/x-cart.com/folderview?id=0B6p7sehSZL8_akhxR0VwQ0dta2M&usp=dri ve_web#list

They have been updated today to have the patch out of the box.

X-Cart 5 users - install the latest version of X-Payments connector available at the X-Cart 5 Marketplace.

2) make sure your server where you run X-Cart uses cURL v 7.18.1 or newer.
If you use X-Payments Enterprise/Downloadable license - check the same for your X-Payments server.

If your cURL is older - update it.
If you have no idea what is cURL - consult with your hosting admin.

And since I mentioned the OpenSSL Heartbleed - check your OpenSSL version - it should be at least 1.0.1g

--------------------

If you do not use X-Payments - go straight at http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=379153&postcount=57

Yep, I was typing this long message and forgot to attach the file, but I noticed that immediately after the post had been made and edited the message.

Does this effect all XC users? If I'm not using X-Payments or X-Payments connector modules do I need to worry about this?

Can't seem to get this patch to apply - looks like the xpc_func.php I have is different - I haven't applied any customizations to this file but it doesn't appear to match what is in the diff - here is my version info of the file (running XC 4.6.3):

* @version 58ab7bdc89b3d4cd894ef7d853bcc6f0c4dcca6b, v101 (xcart_4_6_2), 2014-02-03 17:25:33, xpc_func.php, aim

I'm nervous about putting a new connector in place, have seen conflicting information about whether or not it supports X-Payments 1.0.6. Can you clarify Alex?

-Mark

I would say the POODLE affects really everyone in the Internet. This is a bug in SSL v3 protocol. It is not X-Cart or X-Payments related only.

In order to make the change manually in file
modules/XPayments_Connector/xpc_func.php

find a line of code
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);

and remove it.

If you see near the above line of code this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, 'DEFAULT');
remove this, too.

It does support v1.0.6 but only for credit card processing. Anyways, we always recommend to test new modules before letting them go live. E.g. on a test server.

Thanks for the quick response - made the changes suggested and tested after disabling SSLv3, all looks good now. Will test out the new connector - when you say "It does support v1.0.6 but only for credit card processing.", what does it not support exactly?
