Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: OpenSSL downlevel version is 1.0.0, and does not
  support TLS 1.2

Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The long term support version of Ubuntu 12.04 provides OpenSSL 1.0.0.
  A wireshark trace shows the version of OpenSSL used by Ubuntu does not
  support TLS 1.2. According to the change logs, TLS 1.2 support was
  added 14 March 2012. The change log can be found at
  http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html, and the TLS additions can
  be found under the heading "Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1".

  ***********

  OpenSSL 1.0.1 is compatible with 1.0.0. From the OpenSSL FAQ
  (http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html):

  8. How does the versioning scheme work?

  After the release of OpenSSL 1.0.0 the versioning scheme changed.
  Letter releases (e.g. 1.0.1a) can only contain bug and security fixes
  and no new features. Minor releases change the last number (e.g.
  1.0.2) and can contain new features that retain binary compatibility.
  Changes to the middle number are considered major releases and neither
  source nor binary compatibility is guaranteed.

  **********

  By the way, its nearly impossible to file a bug report through the
  launch pad. The maze that's been created is impossible to navigate,
  and its worse than one of those phone menu systems. I had to look up
  the URL to file at http://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Talk:Linux. Great job
  to the designers of the system. Its probably the same idiots who
  thought a tablet manager was a great idea on the desktop..
