-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:252-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : perl-IO-Socket-SSL Date : December 5, 2009 Affected: 2009.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in perl-IO-Socket-SSL: 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 (CVE-2009-3024).
