An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available
Summary
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.
