1) Are there any public case studies of sslv2 or similar being used against the general public? Downgrade attacks won’t work if the server supports sslv2 as the connecting host will still demand tls 1.2.
2) Is there any public case studies of remotely exploitable code via sslv2? granted poodle etc are still a thing, but they are cryptgraphic attacks which rely on the client accepting ssl in the first place.
imo more importantly, if they are running SSLv2 they almost certainly have really bad vulnerabilities somewhere as they’re clearly running legacy systems evidenced by sslv2, but I am not aware of any directly exploitable servers due specifically to sslv2 being enabled.
This kind of alarmism creates security fatigue, wasting time and resources rather than focusing on actual security issues.
