==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

Fraudulent security certificates could allow sensitive information to
be exposed when accessing the Internet.

Software Description:

parsing ASN.1 values. An attacker could use this issue to forge RSA
certificates.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  firefox                         32.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

all the necessary changes.
