Firefox 3.6.x < 3.6.22 Untrusted CA

medium Nessus Plugin ID 56119

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that contains support for an untrustworthy certificate authority.

Description

The installed version of Firefox 3.6.x is earlier than 3.6.22. Due to a recent attack against certificate authority DigiNotar, Mozilla has added explicit distrust to the DigiNotar root certificate and several intermediates in this version of Firefox.

Note this is a further fix to MFSA 2011-34, which removed the DigiNotar root certificate.

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox 3.6.22 or later.
