Apache 2.2.29 uses OpenSSL 1.0.1j. The OpenSSL changelogs do list the following:

Quote:
Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer dereference.


quote source: http://www.openssl.org/news/cl101.txt

Maybe it's unrelated but I would try and test disabling sslv3 on a more recent version (e.g. 2.2.31).

use

Code:

SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!LOW:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS


Don't forget to restart apache.

Can you please go to your Apache bin folder and run the command:

httpd.exe -v

The answer should be

Server version: Apache/2.2.31 (Win32)
Server built: Dec 3 2015 21:36:59

If it's not version 2.2.31, please upgrade your server to the latest version and try again.

First, try to upgrade your Apache to 2.2.31.

Also, post your linux system and version.

A few more pointers that can help you:

1. If you are using virtual hosts make sure that "SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3" is listed inside all the virtual host.

2. On Ubuntu look also for "SSLCipherSuite" in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf
Edit the above refered ssl.conf and make sure you change

from: SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!MD5
to: SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!MD5:!SSLv3:!SSLv2:!TLSv1

But lets try something different. When you say "unable to disable the sslv3", how are you testing that sslv3 is not disabled?

on Server version: Apache/2.2.31 (Unix)..

I am testing it on ssllab.com and it says sslv3 enables.
2ndly "openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -ssl3" also returns ssl cert not the failure.

You are probably missing a Virtual Host or an included ssl configuration file.
I added more info to my last post. See if it helps.

Update your OpenSSL to the latest compatible version.
Then read this:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/logjam-the-latest-tls-vulnerability-explained/

Also, go to

https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html

and configure and test your Apache.

The suggest configuration is:

Code:
SSLProtocol             all -SSLv2 -SSLv3

SSLCipherSuite          ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA
