System Status message warning regarding cURL version TLS status

When I check my System Status in my WHMCS (version 7.2.3) I see the following warning:

Installed cURL Version

You currently have version 7.24.0 of cURL installed. This version is known to have security issues. Please update to the latest cURL and ensure it is greater than 7.35.0.

Secure TLS Support in cURL

cURL reports that it does not support Secure TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Make sure an SSL library that support TLS 1.1 and 1.2 is installed and supported by cURL.

 

According to my hosting server support people I actually have version curl-7.19.7-53.el6_9.x86_64 installed (my server is older and they are saying this is the latest version available for it) and that it does have TLS v1.2 support. They showed me a test that reported an okay result.

 

Anyone else see this, and maybe have some idea why I would get this result? My hosting support mentioned that maybe SSLv3 is being allowed? Not sure what that means to the issue. Thanks.

Hi,

 

The curl version WHMCS reports comes from the curl_version() PHP function - http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-version.php

 

It is the curl version from PHP that is being reported. You can also find the same information in Utilities -> System -> PHP Info (search for cURL Information).

 

WHMCS uses the information from that function and compares the versions.

 

Your curl version on the server may be different to the one compiled with PHP.
