Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-113) - Linux
Summary:This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.
Description:Summary:
This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Vulnerability Insight:
Trust settings for built-in roots ignored during EV certificate validation
Firefox user Sijie Xia reported that if a user
explicitly removes the trust for extended validation (EV) capable root
certificates in the certificate manager, the change is not properly used when
validating EV certificates, causing the setting to be ignored. This removes the
ability of users to explicitly untrust root certificates from specific
certificate authorities.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 26.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.

CVSS Score:
4.3
