CVE-2009-3024 (2009-08-31)

The verify_hostname_of_cert function in the certificate checking feature in IO-Socket-SSL (IO::Socket::SSL) 1.14 through 1.25 only matches the prefix of a hostname when no wildcard is used, which allows remote attackers to bypass the hostname check for a certificate.

Changes for version v1.83_1

  • seperated documention of non-blocking I/O from error handling
  • changed and documented behavior of readline to return the read data on EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK in case of non-blocking socket. See https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/1, thanks to mytram
