Summary0000856: Cipher list in tls.h lacks modern ciphers
DescriptionUp to date tls libraries like libgnutls or libssl (from openssl) provide ciphers that are not listed in mudlib/sys/tls.h. If the define TLS_CIPHER_NAME(x) is called naively it may choke on a bad index.
Steps To ReproduceInstall mudlib/sys/tls.h and link ldmud with libgnutls28 (current dev version in debian stable is 3.5.8). Initiate a tls session with TLS_CIPHER_AES_256_GCM or any other cipher that is not provided in tls.h. Call TLS_CIPHER_NAME(x).
Additional InformationSee the attached example of a tls.h updated for usage with a current libgnutls28.

And as far as I can see, it won't work at all with OpenSSL, because then tls_query_connection_info() will return the cipher name, not any index.
IMHO the API is not great even with an up-to-date table/tls.h.

I would argue, that tls_query_connection_info() should - if necessary - translate any enums/indices from the used crypto lib to a common name...

I agree.

The efun should be changed to return a struct and the struct should contain strings for algorithms instead of ids. Target LDMud 3.7.
