To address the issue, on the 30th of October 2014 ZyXEL has released new IDP signatures, versions 3.0.3.111 and 3.1.4.111, for its Next-Gen USG Series gateways and ZyWALL Series VPN firewalls. The IDP signatures will enable devices to activate the following protection and guard networks against the POODLE vulnerability by blocking all types of access using the SSL v3.0 protocol.
1130118 SSL OpenSSL SSLv3 POODLE Padding Brute Force (CVE-2014-3566)
In the meantime, it is recommended that our customers immediately take steps to disable SSL v3.0 support for applications on both servers and clients. Many applications that use better encryption by default, implement SSL v3.0 support as a fallback option. This should be disabled to prevent malicious users from forcing SSL v3.0 communication in cases where both parties allow it as an acceptable method. End-users can follow the steps described in the following links to preven any mishaps.
Additionally, a new firmware patch will be released in the middle of November 2014 that deactivates the SSL v3.0 setting by factory default. This is to avoid data leakage from communication between client and server.
