- New upstream release 1.958
Lots of behavior changes for more secure defaults:
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE: make default cipher list more secure, especially:
- No longer support MD5 by default (broken)
- No longer support anonymous authentication by default (vulnerable to
man in the middle attacks)
- Prefer ECDHE/DHE ciphers and add necessary ECDH curve and DH keys, so
that it uses by default forward secrecy, if underlying
Net::SSLeay/openssl supports it
- Move RC4 to the end, i.e. 3DES is preferred (BEAST attack should
hopefully have been fixed and now RC4 is considered less safe than 3DES)
- Default SSL_honor_cipher_order to 1, e.g. when used as server it tries
to get the best cipher even if the client prefers other ciphers; PLEASE
NOTE that this might break connections with older, less secure
implementations, in which case revert to 'ALL:!LOW:!EXP:!aNULL' or so
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE: SSL_cipher_list now gets set on context, not SSL object,
and thus gets reused if context gets reused; PLEASE NOTE that using
SSL_cipher_list together with SSL_reuse_ctx no longer has any effect on
the ciphers of the context
- Rework hostname verification schemes:
- Add RFC names as scheme (e.g. 'rfc2818', ...)
- Add SIP, SNMP, syslog, netconf, GIST
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE: fix SMTP - now accept wildcards in CN and subjectAltName
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE: fix IMAP, POP3, ACAP, NNTP - now accept wildcards in CN
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE: anywhere wildcards like www* now match only 'www1',
'www2' etc. but not 'www'
- Anywhere wildcards like x* are no longer applied to IDNA names (which start
with 'xn--')
- Fix crash of Utils::CERT_free
- Support TLSv11, TLSv12 as handshake protocols
- Fixed t/core.t: test used cipher_list of HIGH, which includes anonymous
authorization; with the DH param given by default since 1.956, old versions
of openssl (like 0.9.8k) used cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (e.g. anonymous
authorization) instead of AES256-SHA and thus the check for the peer
certificate failed (because ADH does not exchange certificates) - fixed by
explicitly specifying HIGH:!aNULL as cipher (CPAN RT#90221)
- Cleaned up tests:
- Remove ssl_settings.req and 02settings.t, because all tests now create a
simple socket at 127.0.0.1 and thus global settings are no longer needed
- Some tests did not have use strict(!); fixed it
- Removed special handling for older Net::SSLeay versions that are less
than our minimum requirement
- Some syntax enhancements: removed some SSL_version and SSL_cipher_list
options where they were not really needed
- Cleanup: remove workaround for old IO::Socket::INET6 but instead require at
least version 2.55 which is now 5 years old
- Fix t/session.t to work with older openssl versions (CPAN RT#90240)
