Description:
------------
This is the same issue as presented in #67609 - but manifested in the SOAP extension. The SOAP extension uses it's own HTTP handling code (i.e. not http_fopen_wrapper.c where the issue was patched for #67609).

(i) The crypto method defaults to SSL v2/3 - https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/942809909e1bc125db038796c0a1a0b53eeaca7d/ext/soap/php_http.c#L273 - this causes problems when the SOAP endpoint only accepts TLS.

This can be worked around by setting 'ssl_method' to SOAP_SSL_METHOD_TLS in the options supplied to \SoapClient::__construct().

(ii) The name in the peer certificate, by default, is compared to the "url_name" of the SSL socket - https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/c17e007a293356a5b1e511626addb9f13d4eaaee/ext/openssl/xp_ssl.c#L489 - when a proxy is in use, this is the proxy host, not SOAP endpoint host.

This can be worked around by setting "verify_peer_name" to FALSE, or specifying the correct "peer_name" value in the SSL portion of stream context that can be supplied within in the "stream_context" option for \SoapClient::__construct().

By the way, the error raised by SOAP where peer verification fails is very generic, to the point that it is basically impossible to work out what exactly the problem is. I couldn't see anything in the Exception context that indicated the exact problem.

Test script:
---------------
$options = [
  'proxy_host' => '..',
  'proxy_port' => ..
];

$client = new \SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
$client->__soapCall(..);

Expected result:
----------------
Call succeeds

Actual result:
--------------
\SoapFault: Could not connect to host

I just wanted to add the following, as it may help people track down this issue:

An E_WARNING is triggered in this case, though the error_reporting value is set to exclude E_WARNING level errors (amongst others) here - https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/942809909e1bc125db038796c0a1a0b53eeaca7d/ext/soap/php_http.c#L189

It is possible to observe the error with a customer error handler registered, however -  this resolves to something like:

"SoapClient::__doRequest(): Peer certificate CN=`example.com' did not match expected CN=`192.168.1.155'"

If you see this, and have a proxy set, then you probably are being affected by this bug.

I can confirm this problem. You need a SSL connection via a proxy to reproduce it. The exact error can be made visible by using your own error-handler before sending the SOAP request, e.g.

    set_error_handler(
        function ($errno , $errstr, $errfile = null, $errline = null) {
            printf(
                "ERROR #%d: %s in %s line %s\n", $errno, $errstr, 
                $errfile, $errline
            );
        }
    );

This produces an error like:


> ERROR #2: SoapClient::__doRequest(): Peer certificate CN=`correct-domain.exmaple.com' did not match expected CN=`proxy.example.net'

The SOAP Fault itself is little saying as reported:

> Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host

Patch with test case for the peer-name verification problem (against the 7.0 branch): https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2152

As for the first issue about SSL version, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT actually means highest available SSL/TLS version, up to TLSv1.2. It's a quirk of OpenSSL; see the description of SSLv23_method: https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/ssl/SSL_CTX_new.html. STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT will actually restrict the connection to TLSv1.0 only.

Could you please backport the patch https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2152 to 5.6?

I believe this has been resolved by the aforementioned PR.

This will not be backported to 5.6, as it's no longer actively supported.
 [2018-11-14 14:52 UTC] tomp at tomp dot uk
Our company is running PHP 5.6 as we have PECL modules that don't support PHP 7.

We experienced this issue and the PHP 7 patch wouldn't apply cleanly to the PHP 5.6 tree, so I have backported it to PHP 5.6. This has been tested to work and is in production.
