Got sidetracked. I can commit tomorrow unless someone else wants to get to it 
first.

> We recently found a security issue in our HBase REST servers.  The issue is a 
> variant of the POODLE vulnerability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE) 
> and is present in the HBase Thrift server as well.  It also appears to affect 
> the JMXListener coprocessor.  The vulnerabilities probably affect all 
> versions of HBase that have the affected services.  (If you don't use the 
> affected services with SSL then this ticket probably doesn't affect you).
> Included is a patch to fix the known POODLE vulnerabilities in master.  Let 
> us know if we missed any.  From our end we only personally encountered the 
> HBase REST vulnerability.  We do not use the Thrift server or JMXListener 
> coprocessor but discovered those problems after discussing the issue with 
> some of the HBase PMCs.
> Coincidentally, Hadoop recently committed a SslSelectChannelConnectorSecure 
> which is more or less the same as one of the fixes in this patch.  Hadoop 
> wasn't originally affected by the vulnerability in the 
> SslSelectChannelConnector, but about a month ago they committed HADOOP-12765 
> which does use that class, so they added a SslSelectChannelConnectorSecure 
> class similar to this patch.  Since this class is present in Hadoop 2.7.4+ 
> which hasn't been released yet, we will for now just include our own version 
> instead of depending on the Hadoop version.
> After the patch is approved for master we can backport as necessary to older 
> versions of HBase.
