Subject: [PHP-DEV] TLS v1.2 -only- deployments

Over the past two weeks, I've observed quite a bit of PHP 7+ userland
code breaking due to remote hosts switching to a TLS 1.2 only policy.
For various specific reasons, I strongly suspect that PCI DSS 3.1
implementations or compliance audits against that spec have something
to do with the changes that I'm seeing:

https://blog.pcisecuritystandards.org/migrating-from-ssl-and-early-tl
s

In just the last two weeks, I've seen completely unrelated servers of
various vendors go offline for an upgrade.  When they come back up a
short bit later, they are suddenly configured for TLS 1.2 only.
Running a Qualys SSL labs test confirms the changes.  It's a rather
specific change to encounter in such a short period of time.

PHP userland code (e.g. stream_socket_client()) is unable to connect
to such hosts via "tls://" host strings.  The string has to be
updated to use the version- specific string "tlsv1.2://" before the connecting
code starts working again.

I think in any case, especially if apps are branch specific, explicit
TSL 1.2 is probably the best way, like anything explicit in security

yes but what *really* annoys me is that "tls://" don't just default to the most
secure connection *both* sides support

Yes, that's the current implementation. If there can be a better 
implementation, perhaps it were worth it to pursue.

shouldn't "tls://" just handover the handshake stuff to openssl?

what do you do in a few years - change again userland php-code to "tlsv1.3://" -
franly that don't belong in any PHP script at all because PHP is nothing else 
than i
client here and a random developer sould not need to know ahything about that
low level things

For things like payments - certainly, the explicit highest security goes over 
any automatic negotiation. Standards don't change every day and a maintained 
app should follow the changes in the industry. Fe the particular doc there 
suggest an explicit migration path for the branch specific apps, explicitly 
mentioning to prefer TSL 1.2. On the other hand, for general purposes, one 
would want to keep the supported range as wide as possible

it's fine that you can write "tlsv1.2://", "tlsv1.3://" explicit where it makes sense but you should not need to do so and just be able to say "tls://" and except that the underlying ssl library does the best possible handshake

the current implementation makes "SSLHonorCipherOrder" and "SSLCipherSuite" with a ordering to pass ssllabs on the serversie pointless when a stupid client just uses TLS1.0

maybe the underlying reason is the same that mysqli for encrypted database connections is using "DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA" while /etc/my.cnf on the database server has "ssl-cipher = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:RSA-AES256-SHA"
