CVE-2024-56830 (2025-01-02)

The Net::EasyTCP package 0.15 through 0.26 for Perl uses Perl's builtin rand() if no strong randomization module is present.

Changes for version 0.24

  • Fixed a bug that prevented servers running on machines without any encryption or compression modules installed from negotiating correctly unless donotencrypt or donotcompress was supplied to the constructor.
  • Better comments in the SYNOPSIS examples of a server and a client
  • A couple of small documentation changes to clarify the difference between a normal client and a hybrid (server-created) client, and the methods available to each. Thanks to Christian Chapman <secret_hamster@hotmail.com>
