Deprecating Secure Sockets Layer Version 3.0
If you're not aware, in RFCs, the word MUST is a reserved word, and means that implementations are required to carrier out a specific behavior.Abstract
The Secure Sockets Layer version 3.0 (SSLv3), as specified in RFC
6101, is not sufficiently secure. This document requires that SSLv3
not be used. The replacement versions, in particular, Transport
Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 (RFC 5246), are considerably more secure and
capable protocols.
This document updates the backward compatibility section of RFC 5246
and its predecessors to prohibit fallback to SSLv3.
...
3. Do Not Use SSL Version 3.0
SSLv3 MUST NOT be used. Negotiation of SSLv3 from any version of TLS
MUST NOT be permitted.
...
So, again, if you're using crypto, and are not currently using one of the new releases, I'd suggest working towards that end.
