AFAIK, on SSVM apache2 runs to serve templates/iso/volumes which users download 
and it uses 443/https and uses a custom SSL certificate if uploaded. If SSL is 
not enabled then it does not apply.

In case of CPVM, the Java based agent uses an in-memory SSL keystore (that mgmt 
server sends it when it starts) and it implements its own Java based webservice 
that serves the console proxy over 443/https, again if SSL is enabled and a SSL 
certificate was uploaded.

In both cases, if SSL is not enabled (global settings) for SSVM/CPVM these SSL 
based attacks don’t apply. Other than these components, it’s the ACS mgmt 
server (tomcat) or the reverse-proxy/LB in front of it that needs to be fixed 
either in the server.xml file or in respective reverse-proxy (such as nginx) or 
the LB (netscaler etc). I’m only aware of these components prone to SSL 
attacks. If there are other areas, we should find and fix them.
