Hi Bernard, Current versions of LibreSSL's libssl only disable SSLv3 by default. Support still exists, and programs can still enable it if they choose. For example, you will get an error if you do not explicitly specify -ssl3 as an option to openssl(1).
In case there is confusion, libtls, which is not packaged with the portable version yet, does disable SSLv3 entirely with no option to enable. But, libssl still allows it optionally. - Brent On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 5:28 AM, Bernard Spil <bern...@bachfreund.nl> wrote: > Hi, > > Running LibreSSL portable 2.1.1 from FreeBSD ports on FreeBSD 10.1 > $ /usr/local/bin/openssl version > LibreSSL 2.1 > $ uname -a > FreeBSD meterkast3.example.org 10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 > r264324M: Tue Nov 11 13:46:58 CET 2014 > r...@meterkast3.example.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BEASTIE101 amd64 > > To my surprise, the LibreSSL openssl binary does not see the -sslv3 option > as an error.
