A flaw was found in the way CHACHA20-POLY1305 was implemented in NSS in versions before 3.55. When using multi-part Chacha20, it could cause out-of-bounds reads. This issue was fixed by explicitly disabling multi-part ChaCha20 (which was not functioning correctly) and strictly enforcing tag length. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and system availability.
Se encontró un fallo en la manera en que se implementó CHACHA20-POLY1305 en NSS en versiones anteriores a 3.55. Cuando es usado Chacha20 de múltiples partes, podría causar lecturas fuera de límites. Este problema fue corregido al desactivar explícitamente ChaCha20 de múltiples partes (que no funcionaba correctamente) y aplicando estrictamente la longitud de la etiqueta. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la confidencialidad y la disponibilidad del sistema
