📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added a glossary entry distinguishing email as a communication service from an email message, with a caution about usage.
  • Updated the media glossary entry to use “floppy disks” instead of “diskettes.”
  • Clarified Apache SSL guidance to enable TLSv1 and disable SSLv2 and SSLv3 due to the POODLE vulnerability.

Walkthrough

The changes add an email glossary entry, update the media glossary examples, and revise the Apache SSL example to directly state protocol settings and their link to the POODLE vulnerability.

Changes

Glossary terms

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Email and media entries supplementary_style_guide/glossary_terms_conventions/general_conventions/e.adoc, supplementary_style_guide/glossary_terms_conventions/general_conventions/m.adoc	The glossary adds an email entry that distinguishes email addresses from email messages and marks the term “with caution.” The media examples replace “diskettes” with “floppy disks.”

Apache SSL guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Protocol settings in the Apache SSL example supplementary_style_guide/style_guidelines/links.adoc	The example now directly instructs readers to enable TLSv1 and disable SSLv2 and SSLv3, and states that these protocols are vulnerable to the linked POODLE vulnerability.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cc5eb

The glossary gives conflicting usage signals, and readers following the Apache example could configure a deprecated protocol that prevents newer-only clients from connecting. Correct the protocol advice before merging.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the TLS 1.0-only recommendation.

TLSv1 means TLS 1.0. Enabling only this protocol excludes TLS 1.2 and later, and clients that require TLS 1.2 or later cannot connect. Recommend TLS 1.2 or later instead.

Proposed replacement

-If your Apache web server configuration enables SSL security, enable only the TLSv1 protocol. Disable SSLv2 and SSLv3 because they are vulnerable to the link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1232413[POODLE SSL vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)].
+If your Apache web server configuration uses TLS, enable TLS 1.2 or later. Disable SSLv2 and SSLv3. SSLv3 is vulnerable to the link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1232413[POODLE SSL vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)].

As per path instructions: “Focus on major issues impacting performance, readability, maintainability and security. Avoid nitpicks and avoid verbosity.”
