Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'rootcerts' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Insight

Insight

Google reported to Mozilla that TURKTRUST, a certificate authority in Mozillas root program, had mis-issued two intermediate certificates to customers. The issue was not specific to Firefox but there was evidence that one of the certificates was used for man-in-the-middle (MITM) traffic management of domain names that the customer did not legitimately own or control. This issue was resolved by revoking the trust for these specific mis-issued certificates (CVE-2013-0743). The rootcerts package has been upgraded to address this flaw and the Mozilla NSS package has been rebuilt to pickup the changes.
