CVE-2024-23656

### Summary Dex 2.37.0 is serving HTTPS with insecure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. ### Details While working on https://github.com/dexidp/dex/issues/2848 and implementing configurable TLS support, I noticed my changes did not have any effect in TLS config, so I started investigating. https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/70d7a2c7c1bb2646b1a540e49616cbc39622fb83/cmd/dex/serve.go#L425 is seemingly setting TLS 1.2 as minimum version, but the whole tlsConfig is ignored after "TLS cert reloader" was introduced in https://github.com/dexidp/dex/pull/2964. Configured cipher suites are not respected either, as seen on the output. ### PoC Build Dex, generate certs with `gencert.sh`, modify `config.dev.yaml` to run on https, using generated certs. ```console issuer: http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex storage: type: sqlite3 config: file: dex.db web: https: 127.0.0.1:5556 tlsCert: examples/k8s/ssl/cert.pem tlsKey: examples/k8s/ssl/key.pem <rest as default> ``` Run dex `bin/dex serve config.dev.yaml`. Install `sslyze`, easy to use SSL connection analyzer: ```console pip3 install sslyze sslyze 127.0.0.1:5556 ``` In Dex 2.37.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are enabled in addition to expected TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. ```console * TLS 1.0 Cipher Suites: Attempted to connect using 80 cipher suites.
