PayPal Error (35) error:1408F10B SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

I know it was an urgent fix, but some announcement would have been nice. They're usually pretty good about letting us know about other changes.

So glad I saw this thread today! I was pulling my hair trying to figure out why the error was being thrown. Made the edit to CURLOPT_SSLVERSION from 3 to 4 and that seems to have done the trick! Yea! Thanks PayPal for letting us know!

All the carts I have been checking on are getting this error too. I tried the fix on one cart and 5 minutes later an order came through so the fix worked. Will this be the permanent fix or should we expect to need to update the paypal express module in the near future?

For now this is a known and verified fix, and worth rolling out to all your sites immediately.
However, it's early days on this we are indeed researching whether there are even better fixes available. But that's NO reason to not apply the known fix NOW.

Time will tell whether there is an even better fix. We will post in the Release Announcements if there is an updated better solution.

Is it only with IE? I was under the impression that Chrome and Firefox work and do not have the vulnerability.

Today's PayPal issue has nothing whatsoever to do with what browser is being used.

I take it this doesn't affect paypal website payments standard? I haven't had any issues today... ?
