Description

Updated perl-LWP-Protocol-https package fixes security vulnerability:

It was reported that libwww-perl (LWP), when using IO::Socket::SSL (the
default) and when the HTTPS_CA_DIR or HTTPS_CA_FILE environment variables
were set, would disable server certificate verification, when the intent
was to only disable hostname verification (CVE-2014-3230).
