Yep, maybe using ssl offloading devices like (BigIP) that receives tls1.2 and tlsv1.2 and then re-encrypts traffic with tls1.0 might be "cheapest" solution.

If you do that, then you are at the mercy of Mr. Bergmann to provide updates for all security issues for openssl. Has he updated his RPMs since 2014-11-19 23:57:58? Does his patch work on the latest RHEL/CentOS EL5 openssl-0.9.8 package?
The answer right now for him providing newer packages is, I have no idea. His repo ( http://www.tuxad.de/blog/archives/2014/12/07/yum_repository_for_rhel__centos... ) does not seem to be available: ==================================================================== Attempted reposync:
Error setting up repositories: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from tuxad: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://www.tuxad.com/repo/5/x86_64/tuxad/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found ====================================================================
Red Hat chose not to turn on those cyphers in RHEL-5 (the ones in his patches) .. doing so is not at all certified as safe, nor has it been tested by anyone that I can see (other than in that blog entry). It might be fine .. it might not be.
People can make any choice that they want, but I would be looking to upgrade to at least CentOS-6 at this point if I wanted newer TLS support and not depending on one person to provide packages (or patches) of this importance for all my EL5 machines. But, that is just me.
Please note, I have no idea who Mr. Bergmann is and I am not in any way being negative about those packages and patches .. they are extremely nice and seem to work. However, I can not see the rest of his repo right now and I would not trust MY production machines to a one person operation with something as important as openssl.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
