Io-Socket-Ssl: >> Io-Socket-Ssl Security Vulnerabilities
The IO::Socket::SSL module 1.35 for Perl, when verify_mode is not VERIFY_NONE, fails open to VERIFY_NONE instead of throwing an error when a ca_file/ca_path cannot be verified, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended certificate restrictions.

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.
