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 2.074

  • add SSL_ciphersuites option for TLS 1.3 ciphers
  • no longer use own default for ciphers, instead use system default but disable some weak ciphers which might still be enabled on older systems

Modules

SSL sockets with IO::Socket interface
SSL interception (man in the middle)
provide access to Mozilla's list of effective TLD names
loading, storing, creating certificates and keys
