that need to be enabled manually so that we won't break 
functionality :

  - CVE-2011-3389: Make it possible to deny use of 'BEAST'
    vulnerable ciphers

    - CVE-2012-4929: Disable compression to be safe from
      'CRIME'

    - CVE-2005-2090: Chunked encofing response splitting (no
      awkward name here)

    - CVE-2014-3566: Allow disabling SSLv3 (and others), to
      be safe from 'POODLE'

    - A redirect XSS fix

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
