[mod-security-packagers] Important: mlogc and SSLv3

[Felipe C. <FC...@tr...>]

Hi,

For those whom are using or distributing mlogc, please apply this patch:

https://gist.github.com/zimmerle/31eae2612c3719c5d1b1

This patch may be necessary, depending on your setup, to allow mlogc to
connects to TLS1.2 servers. Before this patch it was trying SSLv3. This
patch is already applied to our git repository.

Use SSLv3 is not a good idea as explained in the CVE-2014-3566 [1].

Notice that mlogc uses libcurl which will disable SSLv3 support as of:
7.39.0 [2].

If you didn't disabled the SSLv3 support in your web server, which mlogc
is connecting to, it is also a good idea.
