SSL Server Has SSLv2 Enabled Vulnerability

SSL Server Has SSLv2 Enabled Vulnerability port 2381/tcp over SSL

Is the a way to mitigate this by going to SSLv3? I assume this is referring to Systems Manager.

Thanks

The software on port 2381 supports both SSLv2 and SSLv3.

How do you disable v2 so that only v3 is enabled?

I have the following security vulnerabilities on several hundred proliant servers.

- SSL Server Supports Weak Encryption
- SSL Server Uses Weak Encryption
- SSL Server Has SSLv2 Enabled
- SSL Certificate - Signature Verification Failed
- SSL Certificate - Self-Signed Certificate
- SSL Certificate - Subject Common Name Does Not Match Server FQDN

All of them are caused by the HP System Management Homepage (v2.0.1.104) which listens on SSL port 2381. Is there a way to enable SSLv3 and turn-off SSLv2 and also restrict access to strong encryption only?

I got stuck and it seams it is not possible to disable v2. My attempts to change the config file "C:\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.confâ was without success. The file gets dumped when the SysMgmtHP service starts up. Therefore, I assume configuration settings are hard coded somewhere.

A look at the SSLCipherSuite entry shows that v2 is enabled.
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:!EXPORT40:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+SSLv2:+EXP:-LOW:+eNULL

This should be changed to:
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:!EXPORT40:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-SSLv2:+SSLv3:+EXP:-LOW:+eNULL

I get the same SSLv2 Enabled Vulnerability. How can this be mitigated? This is in reference to the HP System Management Homepage. When I disable this service the SSLv2 vulnerability is removed, the only problem is that we use the system management homepage. Thanks

Latest versions of System Mangement Homepage have SSL V2 disabled by default. I would suggest you upgrade to the latest version.
