3. Description:

 

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support

the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server

applications. Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform

independence for non-GUI operating system facilities.

 

A race condition was found in the way NSS verified certain certificates.

A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using NSS or,

possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

that application. (CVE-2014-1544)

 

A flaw was found in the way TLS False Start was implemented in NSS.

An attacker could use this flaw to potentially return unencrypted

information from the server. (CVE-2013-1740)

 

A race condition was found in the way NSS implemented session ticket

handling as specified by RFC 5077. An attacker could use this flaw to crash

an application using NSS or, in rare cases, execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running that application. (CVE-2014-1490)

 

It was found that NSS accepted weak Diffie-Hellman Key exchange (DHKE)

parameters. This could possibly lead to weak encryption being used in

communication between the client and the server. (CVE-2014-1491)

 

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in NSPR. A remote attacker could

potentially use this flaw to crash an application using NSPR or, possibly,

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that

application. This NSPR flaw was not exposed to web content in any shipped

version of Firefox. (CVE-2014-1545)

 

It was found that the implementation of Internationalizing Domain Names in

Applications (IDNA) hostname matching in NSS did not follow the RFC 6125

recommendations. This could lead to certain invalid certificates with

international characters to be accepted as valid. (CVE-2014-1492)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting the

CVE-2014-1544, CVE-2014-1490, CVE-2014-1491, and CVE-2014-1545 issues.

Upstream acknowledges Tyson Smith and Jesse Schwartzentruber as the

original reporters of CVE-2014-1544, Brian Smith as the original reporter

of CVE-2014-1490, Antoine Delignat-Lavaud and Karthikeyan Bhargavan as the

original reporters of CVE-2014-1491, and Abhishek Arya as the original

reporter of CVE-2014-1545.

 

In addition, the nss package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.16.1,

and the nspr package has been upgraded to upstream version 4.10.6. These

updated packages provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the

previous versions. (BZ#1112136, BZ#1112135)

 

Users of NSS and NSPR are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which correct these issues and add these enhancements. After installing

this update, applications using NSS or NSPR must be restarted for this

update to take effect.
