Original NVD Description

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, when handling an expired CA-CERT in a webserver's certificate chain during a SSL/TLS handshake, does not prompt the user before searching for and finding a newer certificate, which may allow attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. NOTE: it is not clear whether this poses a vulnerability.
