 Firefox 2.0.0.12 SSL Spoofing and Domain Guessing flaws!

Firefox seems to have trouble with defining the proper hostname when
requesting a ssl connection. I was able to trick Firefox in thinking
the hostname behind the at-sign is legit and the same as the URI that
requested an ssl connection, and this without a warning.

PoC:
You can add as much garbage between .com and the @ sign.

So what else can we do?

PoC:
ah heck we don't need that at all:
works fine also :)

Besides the wrong version with this "problem" What are you saying ? When I did it I got the certificate from the rogue host so how the heck is that wrong ? What does "legit" mean ?

I am confused about your post

What the heck are you talking about?

What comes after the @ is the host name that firefox is going to connect to. If that host has a valid, trusted SSL cert you're not going to see a warning message. What are you spoofing?

So are you testing the beta in hopes of informing Mozilla Foundation that they need to work on the beta?

The beta is 2.0.0.12pre.

The release is 2.0.0.11

Haven't found the bug # for the first one yet. 2nd one has a patch, and will be fixed in 1.8.1.13 (Firefox 2.0.0.13).
