Published: February 6, 2015

Summary

Esri recommends the installation of this security patch for the Web Adaptor for Java versions 10.2.1 and 10.2.2. If the Java application server hosting the ArcGIS Web Adaptor uses Java 6, this patch is required to disable SSLv3 and prevent the POODLE vulnerability. Java Application Servers that use Java 7 and the ArcGIS Web Adaptor for IIS are not affected by this issue. This patch is specifically for the versions 10.2.1 and 10.2.2.
