news 28 Posted March 29, 2014 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] mozilla-nss (SSA:2014-086-04) New mozilla-nss packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/mozilla-nss-3.16-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: The cert_TestHostName function in lib/certdb/certdb.c in the certificate-checking implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16 accepts a wildcard character that is embedded in an internationalized domain name's U-label, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a crafted certificate. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-1492 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
