Package: stunnel4
Version: 3:4.29-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I just noticed the default /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf from stunnel4 in Debian 
Squeeze 
hardcodes the protocol version to be used to SSLv3:

-------------
; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1)
sslVersion = SSLv3
-------------

This of course may cause problems after the discovery of the POODLE attack 
vector, the 
subsequent mass-disabling of SSLv3 in server and if the admin does not change 
this value
in the config file.

It may be a good idea to release a squeeze-lts version of the stunnel4 package 
which removes 
that line frome the default config file and alerts server admins to check if 
their existing 
configuration has this option as well.

The package in Wheezy and higher are not problematic, since they now longer 
ship a default 
/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf and the included example config file does not 
hardcode a sslVersion.

This bug also may serve to document the fact that the package from squeeze has 
a flaw and 
how to mitigate that problem.

Grüße,
Sven.
