709165: CVE-2011-0082 firefox: doesn't (re)validate certificates when loading HTTPS page

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The X.509 certificate validation functionality in Mozilla Firefox 4.0.x through 4.0.1 does not properly implement single-session security exceptions, which might make it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to spoof an SSL server via an untrusted certificate that triggers potentially unwanted local caching of documents from that server.
