Description | This update addresses the following issue(s): * The sec_asn1d_parse_leaf function improperly restricts access to an unspecified data structure (CVE-2015-7181) * Heap-based buffer overflow in the ASN.1 decoder (CVE-2015-7182) * The s_mp_div function in lib/freebl/mpi/mpi.c in improperly divides numbers, which might make it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms (CVE-2016-1938) * Heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted ASN.1 data in an X.509 certificate (CVE-2016-1950) * Use-after-free vulnerability in the ssl3_HandleECDHServerKeyExchange function allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by making an SSL (1) DHE or (2) ECDHE handshake at a time of high memory consumption (CVE-2016-1978) * Use-after-free vulnerability in the PK11_ImportDERPrivateKeyInfoAndReturnKey function allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted key data with DER encoding (CVE-2016-1979) * With TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHE_EXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHE_EXPORT and then rewriting a ServerHello with DHE_EXPORT replaced by DHE, aka the "Logjam" issue. The solution in nss was to not accept bit lengths less than 1024. This may potentially be a backwards incompatibility issue but such low bit lengths should not be in use so it was deemed acceptable. (CVE-2015-4000) * Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.23, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 47.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-2834) |
