phishing-style attacks by bypassing security warnings when invalid certificates
are used in SSL HTTP connections.

Impact Level: Application";

tag_affected = "Mozilla Firefox versions 4.0.x through 4.0.1";

tag_insight = "The flaw is due to improper handling of validation/revalidation of
'SSL' certificates. When re-loading the browser and visiting the page, the
untrusted connection warning would appear, but incorrectly indicates that the
site provides a valid, verified certificate and there is no way to confirm the
exception.";

since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore.
General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective
features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.";
