Subject: CVE request: perl-IO-Socket-SSL certificate hostname compare bug

Hi,

IO-Socket-SSL was released a while ago with a security fix:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SULLR/IO-Socket-SSL-1.30/Changes
v1.26 2009.07.03
- SECURITY BUGFIX! 
  fix Bug in verify_hostname_of_cert where it 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
  Thanks to MLEHMANN for reporting

cu
Ludwig
