Synopsis: Critical: nss, nss-util, and nspr security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:1981-1
Issue Date: 2015-11-04
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-7181
 CVE-2015-7182
 CVE-2015-7183
--

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
flaw to cause NSPR to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions
of the user running an application compiled against the NSPR library.
(CVE-2015-7183)

Note: Applications using NSPR's PL_ARENA_ALLOCATE, PR_ARENA_ALLOCATE,
PL_ARENA_GROW, or PR_ARENA_GROW macros need to be rebuild against the
fixed nspr packages to completely resolve the CVE-2015-7183 issue. This
erratum includes nss and nss-utils packages rebuilt against the fixed nspr
version.
