Expired Certs in OpenSSL tests - tests fail

Description

Some PHP unit tests for the OpenSSL extension fail:

• bug74796
• sni_server
• sni_server_key_cert

This is likely due to the fact, that some test certificates they use are expired since Apr 2 2026:

• ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_cs_cert.pem (and concatenated ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_cs.pem)
• ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_uk_cert.pem (and concatenated ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_uk.pem)
• ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_us_cert.pem (and concatenated ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_us.pem)

They have been added 8 years ago in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/fe2ac52d508a450f8f7dea3f63e3b4763d1bd7e0.

You might want to also renew certificates, that expire later this year or next year:

• expiration on Jul 23 2026
  ext/ftp/tests/cert.pem

• expiration on Nov 20 2027
  ext/openssl/tests/sni_server_ca.pem

The following certificates expired long ago, so it is probably not important or even unwanted to renew them:
ext/openssl/tests/74651.pem
ext/openssl/tests/cve2013_4073.pem

Build and test were done using OpenSSL 3.5.5, but the result should not be depending oon the OpenSSL version.

Start with the failing tests bug74796, sni_server, and sni_server_key_cert, then inspect the certificate files under ext/openssl/tests/ listed in the issue. Check the related concatenated PEM files and run those tests with the project’s test setup. Done means the tests pass without certificate verification failures.
