CVE-2020-12399

NSS ha mostrado diferencias de sincronización cuando se llevan a cabo firmas DSA, que fue explotable y eventualmente podría filtrar claves privadas. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.9.0, Firefox versiones anteriores a 77 y Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.9

A flaw was found in the DSA signature generation function in nss. During the process of generating a DSA signature, the nonce value 'k' is not padded, exposing the bit length. Combined with other techniques, this can result in the recovery of the DSA private key. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Thunderbird would continue an unencrypted connection when configured to use STARTTLS for IMAP if the server responded with PREAUTH. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to perform a person-in-the-middle attack in order to obtain sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
