NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nss package and not the nss package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9 recognize a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.
