Descriptions
Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 do not enforce key pinning upon encountering an X.509 certificate problem that generates a user dialog, which allows user-assisted man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by triggering a (1) expired certificate or (2) mismatched hostname for a domain with pinning enabled.
Mozilla Firefox anterior a 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x anterior a 38.1, y Thunderbird anterior a 38.1 no refuerzan la fijación (pinning) de las claves cuando encuentre un problema con los certificados X.509 que genere un dialogo de usuario, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle asistidos por usuario evadir las restricciones de acceso mediante la provocación de (1) un certificado caducado o (2) un nombre de anfitrión malasociado para un dominio con la fijación (pinning) habilitado.
It was found that Firefox skipped key-pinning checks when handling an error that could be overridden by the user (for example an expired certificate error). This flaw allowed a user to override a pinned certificate, which is an action the user should not be able to perform.
