Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Can previous employer dislose I was fired?

It is legal or ethical for a previous employer to disclose that a past employee had been terminated/fired. This is a reason why a previous would-be employer elected not to extend an offer of employment. I'm concerned that if my previous employer continues this practice, it may be hindering my efforts to move forward.
