Descriptions
NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
NSS (Network Security Services) versiones anteriores a 3.73 o 3.68.1, ESR son vulnerables a un desbordamiento de pila cuando manejan firmas DSA o RSA-PSS codificadas con DER. Es probable que las aplicaciones que usan NSS para manejar firmas codificadas en CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7 o PKCS \#12 estén afectadas. Las aplicaciones que usan NSS para la comprobación de certificados u otras funcionalidades de TLS, X.509, OCSP o CRL pueden verse afectadas, dependiendo de cómo configuren NSS. *Nota: Esta vulnerabilidad NO afecta a Mozilla Firefox. Sin embargo, se cree que los clientes de correo electrónico y los visores de PDF que usan NSS para la verificación de firmas, como Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution y Evince, pueden verse afectados. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a NSS versiones anteriores a 3.73 y NSS versiones anteriores a 3.68.1
A remote code execution flaw was found in the way NSS verifies certificates. This flaw allows an attacker posing as an SSL/TLS server to trigger this issue in a client application compiled with NSS when it tries to initiate an SSL/TLS connection. Similarly, a server application compiled with NSS, which processes client certificates, can receive a malicious certificate via a client, triggering the flaw. The highest threat to this vulnerability is confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
