Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4334)
CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
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.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
