An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available. It

Description:

 

 

Mozilla NSS was updated to version 3.16.5 to fix a RSA certificate forgery

issue.

 

MFSA 2014-73 / CVE-2014-1568: Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, security researcher

at Inria Paris in team Prosecco, reported an issue in Network Security

Services (NSS) libraries affecting all versions. He discovered that NSS is

vulnerable to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published

by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1 values

involved in a signature and could lead to the forging of RSA certificates.

 

The Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security also independently

discovered and reported this issue.
