The Network Security Services (NSS) library before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox; GnuTLS before 2.6.4 and 2.7.4; OpenSSL 0.9.8 through 0.9.8k; and other products support MD2 with X.509 certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this issue is currently limited because the amount of computation required is still large.
In a wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an internationalized domain name. This was not properly implemented in NSS, as a result it did not handle IDNA domain prefixes according to RFC 6125, section 6.4.3 "Checking of Wildcard Certificates". http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-6.4.3
