[Full-disclosure] Firefox 2.0.0.12 SSL Spoofing and Domain Guessing vulnerabilities

[steve menard]

I get a warning on 2.0.0.11 Linux Ubuntu

You are about to log into the site "google" with the username
"www%2Ecnn at 2Ecom%c0%AF%C0%AF%C0%C0%80", but the website does not require 
authentication. this may be an attempt to trick you
Is "google" the site you want to visit.?

is this a 2.0.0.12 issue?
