Diagnosis
JIRA is connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server using SSL to encrypt the connection to the database.
Resolution
Important
Adding the parameter below will disable the CBC protection against the SSL/TLS BEAST attack. By setting this option, the DB server will be vulnerable to this type of attack.
Open the dbconfig.xml file, and in the database url field, add the following: ssl=true
eg: jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.10.71:1433/dbname;ssl=trueAdd the following argument to the Java startup options by following these instructions.
-Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false
- Restart JIRA.
