| Detailed Description |
A version of Mozilla Firefox which is older than 3.6.21 has been installed on the host. The installed version of Firefox 3.6.x is earlier than 3.6.21 and is potentially affected by an out-of-date certificate authority list. Due to the issuance of several fraudulent SSL certificates, the certificate authority DigiNotar has been disabled in Mozilla Firefox.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
