Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-210

Posted Oct 22, 2010

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-210 - Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9 recognize a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority. The SSL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9 does not properly set the minimum key length for Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack. Various other issues have also been addressed.
