NOTE: it could be argued that this is a design limitation of the Net::HTTPS API, and separate implementations should be independently assigned CVE identifiers for not working around this limitation. However, because this API was modified within LWP, a single CVE identifier has been assigned." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-6.02/Changes", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-6.02/Changes" }, { "name" : "http://vttynotes.blogspot.com/2010/12/man-in-middle-fun-with-perl-lwp.html", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "http://vttynotes.blogspot.com/2010/12/man-in-middle-fun-with-perl-lwp.html" }, { "name" : "http://vttynotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/quick-note-on-lwp-and-perl-security-cve.html", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "http://vttynotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/quick-note-on-lwp-and-perl-security-cve.html" } ] } }
