--

A use-after-poison flaw and a heap-based buffer overflow flaw were found
in the way NSS parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could use
these flaws to cause NSS to crash or execute arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running an application compiled against the NSS
library. (CVE-2015-7181, CVE-2015-7182)

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in NSPR. An attacker could use this
