Mozilla security issue: Stealing secure HTTP Auth passwords via DNS spoof
Description
The system is running a vulnerable version of the Mozilla browser. HTTP auth passwords were cached by site and port but did not store whether the protocol used was secure (SSL) or not. An attacker who could spoof your DNS could wait until you authenticate to a secure site then redirect a later connection to that site and port during that session to a non-SSL machine under their control, thus stealing the secure password.
