+Subject: [PATCH] SecureSocket: do not use the removed TLSv1_2_*_method calls
+
+The version specific TLSv1_2_server_method() and TLSv1_2_client_method()
+were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and removed outright in OpenSSL 4.0, so
+do_compile fails:
+
+  SecureSocket.cpp:386:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 'TLSv1_2_server_method'; did you mean 'TLS_server_method'?
+  SecureSocket.cpp:389:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 'TLSv1_2_client_method'; did you mean 'TLS_client_method'?
+
+Pick the version flexible method instead and keep the TLS 1.2 floor the
+old code was after by excluding every earlier version through
+SSL_CTX_set_options(). Since TLS 1.3 can now be negotiated, the hardcoded
+"TLSv1.2" that was reported to the user is replaced with the version
+actually in use, which also retires k_tlsString.
+
+This is a backport of two upstream commits, neither of which is in the
+v1.10.1 SRCREV this recipe pins (they first shipped in v1.11.0):
+
+  4fea67e078479cc00afe6b1201c54c997a41fc70
+    "#6390 Updated OpenSSL For better security with TLS1.3"
+  4d3cf2c6 "Preventing older insecure version of TLS/SSL"
+
+Two deliberate differences from upstream:
+
+ - upstream's pre-1.1.0 fallback defines SSL_CLIENT_METHOD to
+   SSLv23_server_method, so a client would ask for a server method. That
+   typo is still present upstream; use SSLv23_client_method here. Only the
+   OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER > 0x10100000L branch is taken in this build, so
+   the difference is inert here, but there is no reason to copy the bug.
+
+ - upstream calls SSL_CTX_set_options() before checking SSL_CTX_new() for
+   NULL, which dereferences a NULL context on allocation failure. Check
+   first and return, then set the options.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [4fea67e078479cc00afe6b1201c54c997a41fc70 and
+4d3cf2c6, adapted to v1.10.1; the two differences above are not upstream]
