Symptoms

The IP reputation daemon opens SSL connections to the Webroot BrightCloud server using TLS 1.0 protocol.

Impact

Because IP reputation services are used to accept/deny connections to critical business applications, there might be concerns about the service. Also some configurations might require that all transactions exfiltrating a PCI-controlled environment leverage secure protocols and ciphers, which won't be the case for IP reputation services.

Conditions

This occurs when using IP reputation.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Webroot updated BrightCloud servers to support TLS 1.2. This is additional support. To preserve backward compatiblity, the servers support TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. In addition, this software version supports TLS 1.2 on the client side by customizing the SDK used by the IP reputation daemon.
