*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

In order to close the recently disclosed security vulnerability in SSLv3
(CVE-2014-3566 a.k.a. POODLE), one needs to disable SSLv3 support.

According to
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_SSL, lighttpd
gained support for doing so (config option "ssl.use-sslv3") in version
1.4.29. Because Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS ships lighttpd 1.4.28, disabling
SSLv3 seems impossible. Attempting to use the "ssl.use-sslv3" setting
results in the following error message being logged:

(server.c.961) WARNING: unknown config-key: ssl.use-sslv3 (ignored)

I suppose that the logical way to deal with this is to either backport
the "ssl.use-sslv3" functionality to the 1.4.28 version shipped by
Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, or to upgrade the shipped package to 1.4.29 or
newer.
