The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security
|
|
features like SSL v2/v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
|
|
S/MIME and X.509 certificates.

|
|
iDefense has reported two potential buffer overflow vulnerabilities
|
|
found by researcher "regenrecht" in the code implementing the SSLv2
|
|
protocol.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SSL master key to a
|
|
server using NSS for the SSLv2 protocol, or entice a user to connect to
|
|
a malicious server with a client-side application using NSS like one of
|
|
the Mozilla products. This could trigger the vulnerabilities and result
|
|
in the possible execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the
|
|
vulnerable application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Disable the SSLv2 protocol in the applications using NSS.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/nss-3.11.5"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
