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 1.958 - 2013-11-11

  • cleanup: remove workaround for old IO::Socket::INET6 but instead require at least version 2.55 which is now 5 years old
  • fix t/session.t #RT90240, thanks to paul[AT]city-fan[DOT]org
