firefox: doesn't (re)validate certificates when loading HTTPS page

Published Jun 6, 2011 CVSS 2.0 · 4.3 Medium EPSS 1.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
The X.509 certificate validation functionality in Mozilla Firefox 4.0.x through 4.0.1 does not properly implement single-session security exceptions, which might make it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to spoof an SSL server via an untrusted certificate that triggers potentially unwanted local caching of documents from that server.
