Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68751
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 13 FEDORA-2010-19054 (perl-IO-Socket-SSL)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to perl-IO-Socket-SSL
announced via advisory FEDORA-2010-19054.

Update Information:

This update fixes a problem whereby IO::Socket::SSL fell back to the VERIFY_NONE verification mode if another verification mode was defined but no valid ca_file or ca_path was provided.

The updated version throws an error in that situation rather than proceeding with the connection despite being unable to verify the certificate(s) as requested.

This issue was originally reported at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606058
