What is CVE-2014-8642?

Older versions of Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey do not properly validate the id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck extension, which can lead to an increased risk of accepting compromised and revoked certificates. This flaw allows remote attackers to intercept and sniff network traffic, potentially exposing sensitive information during sessions that incorrectly trust invalid certificates.
