Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The perl-IO-Socket-SSL package is a drop-in replacement for IO-Socket-INET that uses SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or client. IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features that are needed for writing a full-featured SSL client or server application.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- The Perl Net:SSLeay module has been updated to support explicit specification of the TLS protocol versions 1.1 or 1.2 to improve security, and the IO::Socket::SSL module has been updated accordingly. When a new IO::Socket::SSL object is created, it is now possible to restrict the TLS version to 1.1 or 1.2 by setting the "SSL_version" option to 'TLSv1_1' or 'TLSv1_2' respectively. Alternatively, 'TLSv11' and 'TLSv12' can be used. Note that these values are case-sensitive. (BZ#1375525)
Users of perl-IO-Socket-SSL are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
