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 2.063

  • support for both RSA and ECDSA certificate on same domain
  • update PublicSuffix
  • Refuse to build if Net::SSLeay is compiled with one version of OpenSSL but then linked against another API-incompatible version (ie. more than just the patchlevel differs).

Modules

SSL sockets with IO::Socket interface
