Subject: DBD::mysql and SSL/TLS
Hi,
I have some serious concerns about the state of SSL/TLS in DBD::mysql.
Issue 1: CVE-2017-10789 isn't fixed
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-10789
Issue 2: Using DBD::mysql with MariaDB 10.0 or higher or MySQL 8.0 or
higher provides a false sense of security
SSL_LAST_VERIFY_VERSION is set to 50799.
Any version higher than that silently ignores mysql_ssl_verify_server_cert
This can lead to unencrypted connections even with strict SSL settings.
Issue 3: If SSL support is unavailable but ssl options are set then these
options are silently ignored.
issue 4: If compiled against MySQL 5.7 then SSL/TLS is used when available,
but can't be disabled. (mysql_ssl=0 is ignored).
This makes upgrading to 5.7 more difficult. And 5.7 is needed to get
support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.
There is a patch available for this:
