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 2.005_1 - 2014-11-15

  • Use EWOULDBLOCK instead of EAGAIN. While this is the same on UNIX it is different on Windows and socket operations return there (WSA)EWOULDBLOCK and not EAGAIN. Enable non-blocking tests on Windows too.
