Descriptions

Race condition in libssl in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, SeaMonkey before 2.24, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving a resumption handshake that triggers incorrect replacement of a session ticket.

Condición de carrera en libssl en Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) anterior a 3.15.4, utilizado en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.3, Thunderbird anterior a 24.3, SeaMonkey anterior a 2.24 y otros productos, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de vectores que involucran una reanudación de handshake que provoca un reemplazo incorrecto de un ticket de sesión.

A race condition was found in the way NSS implemented session ticket handling as specified by RFC 5077. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using NSS or, in rare cases, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that application.
