Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1242-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1242-01 - Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. It was found that a Certificate Authority issued a fraudulent HTTPS certificate. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted, except for a select few. The now untrusted certificates that were issued before July 1, 2011 can be manually re-enabled and used again at your own risk in Firefox; however, affected certificates issued after this date cannot be re-enabled or used. All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

3. Description:

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL
Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued a fraudulent HTTPS
certificate. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that
CA as untrusted, except for a select few. The now untrusted certificates
that were issued before July 1, 2011 can be manually re-enabled and used
again at your own risk in Firefox; however, affected certificates issued
after this date cannot be re-enabled or used. (BZ#734316)

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted
for the changes to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

734316 - Fraudulent certificates signed by DigiNotar CA certificate (MFSA 2011-34)
