*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
slack.com is a chat service with optional IRC integration. Since today
I can no longer connect to their IRC gateway using XChat-GNOME. The
error is:
> * Nepavyko prisijungti. Klaida: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL
> routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
> Ar tai tikrai SSL šifravimą palaikantis serveris ir prievadas?
which, translated from lt_LT, means
> * Cannot connect. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL
> routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
> Does the server/port really support SSL?
I think this is part of the fallout of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE).
XChat-GNOME is trying to use the insecure SSL protocol version 3, and
Slack, reasonably enough, rejects that.
