Tuesday 1st September 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.019 in F-23 and Rawhide:

    • Checks for readability of files/dirs for certificates and CA no longer use -r because this is not safe when ACLs are used (CPAN RT#106295)

    • New method sock_certificate similar to peer_certificate (CPAN RT#105733)

    • get_fingerprint can now take optional certificate as argument and compute the fingerprint of it; useful in connection with sock_certificate

    • Check for both EWOULDBLOCK and EAGAIN since these codes are different on some platforms (CPAN RT#106573)

    • Enforce default verification scheme if nothing was specified, i.e. no longer just warn but accept; if really no verification is wanted, a scheme of 'none' must be explicitly specified

    • Support different cipher suites per SNI hosts
    • startssl.t failed on darwin with old openssl since server requested client certificate but offered also anon ciphers (CPAN RT#106687)

    • Work around different behaviour of getnameinfo from Socket and Socket6 by using a different wrapper depending on which module is used for IPv6

Local Packages

  • Updated cdrtools to 3.01 final release

  • Updated dovecot (2.2.18) to use the system crypto policy from F-21 onwards (Bug #1109114)

    • Support added for XS handshake API introduced in 5.21.6
    • Backported S_croak_xs_usage optimized on threaded builds

    • Fix INCLUDE_COMMAND $^X for Perl In Space

    • Remove 'use lib' left over from refactoring

    • Document and improve ancient optimization in ParseXS

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.019 as per the Fedora version
