Update TLS apache vhost TLS configuration (#5137):
. We want to allow for TLS1.2 to be enabled (supported in wheezy)
. Explicitly disable SSLCompression. This aids in protecting
against the BREACH attack: see http://breachattack.com), and SPDY
version 3 is vulnerable to the CRIME attack when compression is
on
. Switch the cipher suites to match
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Apache for
these reasons:
. Prefer PFS, with ECDHE first then DHE (TLS 1.2, not many
implementations support this, and there are no known attacks).
. Prefer AES128 to AES256 because the key schedule in
AES256 is considered weaker, and maybe AES128 is more
resistant to timing attacks
. Prefer AES to RC4. BEAST attacks on AES are mitigated in
>=TLS1.1, and difficult in TLS1.0. They are not in RC4, and
likely to become more dangerous
. RC4 is on the path to removal, but still present for backward compatibility
