Hi Jay,
Yes, we have this fixed. The fix is available in our Juno driver. 
The fix requires a certificate file to be put in the file system in well known directories (e.g. /etc/ssl/certs). This means that the user can also set his own certificates if he so wishes (one can set his own certification on the XIV storage).
We still have some work on packaging and documentation ahead of us.
Alon

Title:
  MITM vulnerability with XIV driver

Status in Cinder:
  Triaged
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The XIV driver in Juno appears to blindly trust whatever certificate
  it gets back from the device without any validation. This would leave
  it open to a MITM attack.
