This issue relates to servers/services provided over SSL2. Hopefully, you've switched your server to TLS only. I dropped SSL2 when I dropped SSL3 due to Poodle. If your server supports SSL2, then it may be vulnerable.

@akselzip: As @thoule points out, it looks like this issue is related to SSLv2 as used in certain versions of OpenSSL.

First, the JAMF Distribution Server (JDS) and NetBoot/SUS Appliance still rely on OpenSSL for cryptography, but other JAMF Software products do not, as outlined in the discussion about the Heartlbeed vulnerability from April 2014:

Security Update: Heartbleed Bug Vulnerability in OpenSSL

Next, as @thoule mentions, support for SSLv2 was disabled as part of the fix for the SSLv3 POODLE vulnerability in October 2014:

Security Update: SSL version 3.0 "POODLE" Vulnerability
Mitigating the SSL v3.0 POODLE Vulnerability

Finally, we recommend applying the latest patches to servers that are running the JDS and NetBoot/SUS Appliance, and disabling support for SSLv2 and SSLv3 on any servers that are running JSS v9.6 or earlier and/or any load balancers or proxies that you may be using in your environment. Starting with JSS v9.61, only TLS has been supported by default.
