The problem appears to be that Debian Bookworm regresses the supported
TLS version for DBD::mysql (mariadb) from supporting TLS v1.2 and TLS
v1.3 back to the known-to-be-vulnerable TLS v1.1 !
From what I can tell, under Debian Buster, mariadb was linked against
gnutls. Under Debian Bookworm, at least the "mysql" utility is *not*
dynamically linked against any SSL library, and appears to refer
internally to "yassl" which I can only assume is some home-grown and
if it only supports up to TLS v1.1, insecure implementation of SSL!
Way to go, Debian! That's quite a step backwards in this modern age.
