Disabling SSL 3.0 support, or CBC-mode ciphers with SSL 3.0, is sufficient to 
mitigate this issue, but presents significant compatibility problems, even 
today.
I run Apache HTTPD in front of Tomcat servers, so I think it will be possible 
to disable the second (CBC-mode ciphers with SSL 3.0). I haven't really read 
the APR/Native SSL configuration carefully enough to know if this is possible 
with Tomcat.

As an aside, for the last 500K hits I've seen 37 requests that have used 
CBC-mode ciphers with SSLv3. At least for the sites I am concerned with 
disabling this does not seem to have 'significant compatibility problems'.
