==========================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-810-2            August 04, 2009
nspr update
https://launchpad.net/bugs/387745
==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  libnspr4-0d                     4.7.5-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
  libnspr4-0d                     4.7.5-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
  libnspr4-0d                     4.7.5-0ubuntu0.9.04.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any applications that
use NSPR, such as Firefox, to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-810-1 fixed vulnerabilities in NSS. This update provides the NSPR
needed to use the new NSS.

Original advisory details:

 Moxie Marlinspike discovered that NSS did not properly handle regular
 expressions in certificate names. A remote attacker could create a
 specially crafted certificate to cause a denial of service (via application
 crash) or execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.
 (CVE-2009-2404)
 
 Moxie Marlinspike and Dan Kaminsky independently discovered that NSS did
 not properly handle certificates with NULL characters in the certificate
 name. An attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack
 to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications.
 (CVE-2009-2408)
 
 Dan Kaminsky discovered NSS would still accept certificates with MD2 hash
 signatures. As a result, an attacker could potentially create a malicious
 trusted certificate to impersonate another site. (CVE-2009-2409)
