While apache in Ubuntu 12.04 does support TLSv1.2, it doesn't allow
specifying the configuration options to selectively disable TLSv1.0.

The following commit needs to be backported:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1445104


** Package changed: openssl (Ubuntu) => apache2 (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS only supports TLS1.0 which is vulnerable to BEAST attack
+ Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS doesn't allow disabling TLS1.0

Title:
  Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS doesn't allow disabling TLS1.0

Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apache2 source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For PCI compliance, one must not be vulnerable to the POODLE or BEAST
  or CRIME attacks. POODLE suggests removing  SSLv2 and SSLv3, and BEAST
  suggests removing TLSv1. However, since TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 do not
  seem to be supported by apache 2.2 on 12.04 LTS, and since apache 2.4
  on 12.04 LTS does not support PHP 5.3.X, the last branch to allow PHP
  register_globals, which is required for lots of legacy production code
  often used by sites with payment systems, and since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  does not support apache 2.2, and since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS does not
  support SHA256 signed SSL certificates, there may be no feasible way
  for someone to run a credit card processing system with any Ubuntu LTS
  system if they require both PCI compliance and PHP register_globals
  support.

  It looks like manually compiling PHP may be the only plausible way to
  surmount this issue in this particular circumstance.
