Bug#649020: apache2: stronger and faster default SSL config



Package: apache2.2-common

Version: 2.2.21-2
Severity: wishlist

Based on a lot of reading and testing, I've come up with what I believe
is a good combination of compatibility, security and speed for a mod_ssl
configuration:

  SSLProtocol TLSv1
  SSLHonorCipherOrder On
  SSLCipherSuite RC4-SHA:HIGH:!kEDH

(We currently don't have any of the above directives in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl so I'm proposing we add them.)

It removes weak ciphers, prefers the fast ones and protects against the
BEAST attack. See more details here:

Cheers,
Francois
