Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 13:05:49 UTC 
Please convert to use the system's crypto policy for SSL and TLS:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

If this program is compiled against gnutls, change the default priority string to be "@SYSTEM" or to use gnutls_set_default_priority().

If this program is compiled against openssl, and there is no default cipher list specified, you don't need to modify it. Otherwise replace the default cipher list with "PROFILE=SYSTEM".

In both cases please verify that the application uses the system's crypto policies.

If the package is already using the system-wide crypto policies, or it does not use SSL or TLS, no action is required, the bug can simply be closed.
Comment 1 Adrian Reber 2015-01-20 20:14:16 UTC 
As far as I can tell jabberd2 does not support specifying a cipher list anywhere in its configuration files. The cipher list is hardcoded.
Comment 2 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-21 07:50:55 UTC 
Then it should be hard coded to our accepted cipher list. Please, see the link in the packaging guidelines above.

spec file has 

BuildRequires:  openssl-devel

and I found this code:

// Set allowed ciphers
	if (SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(ctx, "ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL") != 1) {
        _sx_debug(ZONE, "Can't set cipher list for SSL context: %s", ERR_error_string(ERR_get_error(), NULL));
        SSL_CTX_free(ctx);
        return 1;
    }

so the attached patch should do The Right Thing™, right? Also, how old OpenSSL does support this? Will this work on RHEL-6?
