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 2.061

  • Support for TLS 1.3 session reuse. Needs Net::SSLeay 1.86+. Note that the previous (and undocumented) API for the session cache has been changed.
  • Support for multiple curves, automatic setting of curves and setting of supported curves in client. Needs Net::SSLeay 1.86+.
  • Enable Post-Handshake-Authentication (TLSv1.3 feature) client-side when client certificates are provided. Thanks to jorton[AT]redhat[DOT]com. Needs Net::SSLeay 1.86+.
