Back to Runbooks

Overview

This incident type refers to a security vulnerability in the SSL/TLS configuration of the Apache HTTP Server, which can leave the server and its users vulnerable to attacks. The SSL/TLS configuration is responsible for encrypting the communication between the server and its clients, and if it is not configured properly, it can be exploited by hackers to intercept or modify sensitive data. This type of incident requires immediate attention from software engineers to ensure that the SSL/TLS configuration is properly configured to prevent any potential security threats.

Parameters

Debug

Check the Apache version

Check the SSL/TLS configuration file

Check the SSL/TLS certificate

Check the SSL/TLS protocol versions enabled

Check the SSL/TLS cipher suites enabled

Repair

The first step to remediate this incident type is to identify the specific SSL/TLS configuration vulnerabilities that exist in the Apache HTTP Server. This can be done by conducting a security audit of the server configuration and identifying any weaknesses or misconfigurations.
