Descriptions

Mozilla 1.9 M8 and earlier, Mozilla Firefox 2 before 2.0.0.15, SeaMonkey 1.1.5 and other versions before 1.1.10, Netscape 9.0, and other Mozilla-based web browsers, when a user accepts an SSL server certificate on the basis of the CN domain name in the DN field, regard the certificate as also accepted for all domain names in subjectAltName:dNSName fields, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid certificate for a spoofed web site.

Mozilla 1.9 M8 y anteriores, Mozilla Firefox 2 y anteriores a 2.0.0.15, SeaMonkey 1.1.5 y otras versiones anteriores a 1.1.10, Netscape 9.0, y otras navegadores basados en Mozilla, cuando un usuario aceptar un certificado SSL de servidor sobre las bases del nombre de dominio CN en el campo DN, considerando que el certificado es también aceptado por todos los nombres de dominio en el campo subjectAltName:dNSName, el cual hace más fácil a los atacantes remotos engañar a un usuario aceptando un certificado no válido para una página web falsa.
