A flaw in DRBG number generation within the Network Security Services (NSS) library where the internal state V does not correctly carry bits over. The NSS library has been updated to fix this issue to address this issue and Firefox ESR 52.1 has been updated with NSS version 3.28.4. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.

Error en la generación de números DRBG en la biblioteca Network Security Services (NSS) cuando el V de estado interno no transporta bits correctamente. La biblioteca NSS ha sido actualizada para solucionar este problema y Firefox ESR 52.1 ha sido actualizado con la versión 3.28.4 de NSS. La vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird en versiones anteriores a la 52.1, Firefox ESR en versiones anteriores a la 45.9, Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 52.1 y Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 53.

USN-3260-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused the date picker panel and form validation errors to close immediately on opening. This update fixes the problem. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, obtain sensitive information, spoof the addressbar contents or other UI elements, escape the sandbox to read local files, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. A flaw was discovered in the DRBG number generation in NSS. If an attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be exploited to view sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
