Administrator DKT27 Posted October 9, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 9, 2012 Not supporting MD5 based certificates. Is this really a bug? If i read changelog it is claimed as one. Read the bugzilla page and Wiki MD5. MD5, though helpful in detecting file hashes, isn't safe to do certificate and security stuff anymore. MD5 certificates may be compromised when attackers can create a fake cert that hashes to the same value as one with a legitimate signature, and is hence trusted. Mozilla can mitigate this potential vulnerability by turning off support for MD5-based signatures. The MD5 root certificates don’t necessarily need to be removed from NSS, because the signatures of root certificates are not validated (roots are self-signed). Disabling MD5 will impact intermediate and end entity certificates, where the signatures are validated. The relevant CAs have confirmed that they stopped issuing MD5 certificates. However, there are still many end entity certificates that would be impacted if support for MD5-based signatures was turned off in 2010. Therefore, we are hoping to give the affected CAs time to react, and are proposing the date of June 30, 2011 for turning off support for MD5-based signatures. The relevant CAs are aware that Mozilla will turn off MD5 support earlier if needed. https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:MD5and1024 So yea, looks like a security enhancement to me. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thylacine Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 http://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/10/10/security-vulnerability-in-firefox-16/ Security Vulnerability in Firefox 16 Issue: Mozilla is aware of a security vulnerability in the current release version of Firefox (version 16). We are actively working on a fix and plan to ship updates tomorrow. Firefox version 15 is unaffected. Impact: The vulnerability could allow a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited and have access to the URL or URL parameters. At this time we have no indication that this vulnerability is currently being exploited in the wild. Status: Firefox 16 has been temporarily removed from the current installer page and users will automatically be upgraded to the new version as soon as it becomes available. As a precaution, users can downgrade to version 15.0.1 by following these instructions [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/]. Alternatively, users can wait until our patches are issued and automatically applied to address the vulnerability.
