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 1.999 - 2014-10-09

  • make sure we don't use version 0.30 of IO::Socket::IP
  • make sure that PeerHost is checked on all places where PeerAddr is checked, because these are synonyms and IO::Socket::IP prefers PeerHost while others prefer PeerAddr. Also accept PeerService additionally to PeerPort. See https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/16 for details.
  • add ability to use client certificates and to overwrite hostname with util/analyze-ssl.pl.
