Description

Mozilla developers added support in the Network Security Services module for preventing a type of man-in-the-middle attack against TLS using forced renegotiation.

Note that to benefit from the fix, Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5 users will need to set their security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation preference to true. Firefox 3 does not contain the fix for this issue.
