Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that contains support for an untrustworthy certificate authority.Description
The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 6.0.2. 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 6.0.2 or later.See Also
