Null-Prefix Certificate Could be Used to Exploit Vulnerability in Browsers

(October 5, 2009)
A phony PayPal SSL certificate has been released, making it easy for
cyber criminals to dupe users running Internet Explorer, Google Chrome
or Apple Safari web browsers with man-in-the-middle attacks. The
null-prefix certificate exploits a vulnerability in a Microsoft
library used by all three browsers. The vulnerability was disclosed
in July, but Microsoft has yet to fix it. Mozilla fixed the
vulnerability in its browsers days after the flaw was disclosed.
