Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 51
Description
The issue arises from the "export" function in the Certificate Viewer, which can force local filesystem navigation when the "common name" in a certificate contains slashes. This allows certificate content to be saved in unsafe locations with an arbitrary filename.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 51, update to version 51 or later to resolve the issue.
