New FREAK SSL Attack CVE-2015-0204
Hello, about the CVE-2015-0204, in apache the following config seems to disable this vulnerability: SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4
Is something similar possible with dovecot ? If yes, what are the implications with old mail clients ?

I use this with some succes:
dovecot has built-in protection against BEAST, therefore no need
to remove -SSLv2-SHA1:-TLSv10-SHA1
ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 ssl_cipher_list = ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH:!RC4:!MD5:!DES:!aNULL:!eNULL
I only had a single report of an old client being locked out. Oddly it was a recent Windows Phone that was perfectly capable of using latest protocol and ciphers.
While there, I will self advertise my own paper on TLS hardening: http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.2168

This is not the cipher list I sent. It was: ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH:!RC4:!MD5:!DES:!aNULL:!eNUL
Mine does not contain any export cipher, yours does. You can use openssl ciphers to compare cipher lists:
$ openssl ciphers EXPORT|tr ':' '\n' |sort > export
$ openssl ciphers ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH:!RC4:!MD5:!DES:!aNULL:!eNULL
|tr ':' '\n' |sort> manu
$ openssl ciphers ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH |tr ':' '\n' |sort > adrian
$ join export manu
(nothing)
$ join export adrian

I was using HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4 in apache. You are using ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH:!RC4:!MD5:!DES:!aNULL:!eNULL for dovecot.
I didn't know how to compare both settings. Now I know, and I see that my "!EXPORT" part is covered by your "ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH" part.
$openssl ciphers HIGH:MEDIUM:\!aNULL:\!eNULL:\!EXPORT:\!CAMELLIA:\!DES:\!MD5:\!PSK:\!RC4 | tr ':' '\n' |sort > /tmp/adrian $openssl ciphers ECDH@STRENGTH:DH@STRENGTH:HIGH:\!RC4:\!MD5:\!DES:\!aNULL:\!eNULL | tr ':' '\n' |sort > /tmp/manu $diff adrian manu 6a7,8
The main difference is the support for CAMELLIA and PSK. Unfortunately I don't now enough to say if is good or bad to support any of those two.
Thank you !
