Hi,

As most of you already know, there is an important SSLv3 vulnerability
(CVE-2014-3566 - see https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123) ,
known as Poodle.
While it's easy to disable SSLv3 in the allowed Protocols at the
server level (for example SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 for apache),
some clients are still defaulting to SSLv3, and Koji does that.

We currently have disabled SSLv3 on our cbs.centos.org koji instance,
so if you're a cbs/koji user, please adapt your local koji package
(local fix !)
At the moment, there is no available upstream package, but the
following patch has been tested by Fedora people too (and credits go
to
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2014-October/014976.html)

We'll keep you informed about possible upstream koji packages that
would default to at least TLSv1

channel on irc.freenode.net and have a chat with us
