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 1.988 - 2014-05-17

  • add transparent support for DER and PKCS#12 files to specify cert and key, e.g. it will autodetect the format
  • if SSL_cert_file is PEM and no SSL_key_file is given it will check if the key is in SSL_cert_file too

Modules

SSL sockets with IO::Socket interface
SSL interception (man in the middle)
provide access to Mozillas list of effective TLD names
