Vulnerability Insight:
Update Information:

This update to version 1.26 fixes an issue where only the prefix of the hostname
was checked if there was no wildcard present, so for example www.example.org
would match a certificate starting with www.exam.

ChangeLog:

* Sat Jul 4 2009 Paul Howarth - 1.26-1

- Update to 1.26 (verify_hostname_of_cert matched only the prefix for the
hostname when no wildcard was given, e.g. www.example.org matched against a
certificate with name www.exam in it)

* Fri Jul 3 2009 Paul Howarth - 1.25-1

- Update to 1.25 (fix t/nonblock.t for OS X 10.5 - CPAN RT#47240)

Solution:
Apply the appropriate updates.

This update can be installed with the yum update program. Use
su -c 'yum update perl-IO-Socket-SSL' at the command line.
