FKIE_CVE-2006-4567
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2006-09-15 18:07 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:29
Severity
Summary
Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.7 and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.7 makes it easy for users to accept self-signed certificates for the auto-update mechanism, which might allow remote user-assisted attackers to use DNS spoofing to trick users into visiting a malicious site and accepting a malicious certificate for the Mozilla update site, which can then be used to install arbitrary code on the next update.
