Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:197-2

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : nss

Date : September 11, 2009

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Security issues in nss prior to 3.12.3 could lead to a

man-in-the-middle attack via a spoofed X.509 certificate

(CVE-2009-2408) and md2 algorithm flaws (CVE-2009-2409), and also

cause a denial-of-service and possible code execution via a long

domain name in X.509 certificate (CVE-2009-2404).

 

This update provides the latest versions of NSS and NSPR libraries

which are not vulnerable to those attacks.

 

Update:

 

This update also provides fixed packages for Mandriva Linux 2008.1

and fixes mozilla-thunderbird error messages.
