Discussion
Perl libwww-perl (LWP) Module Peer Certificate Validation Security Bypass Vulnerability
The 'libwww-perl' module for Perl is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate SSL certificates from a server.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks.
libwww-perl 6.04-1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
