This could weaken the cryptographic protections provided by NSS. However, NSS implements RSA-CRT leak hardening, so RSA private keys are not directly disclosed by this issue. - CVE-2016-1978 Eric Rescorla discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the implementation of ECDH-based TLS handshakes, with unknown consequences. - CVE-2016-1979 Tim Taubert discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in ASN.1 DER processing, with application-specific impact. - CVE-2016-2834 Tyson Smith and Jed Davis discovered unspecified memory-safety bugs in NSS. In addition, the NSS library did not ignore environment variables in processes which underwent a SUID/SGID/AT_SECURE transition at process start. In certain system configurations, this allowed local users to escalate their privileges.

Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, spoof the address bar, conduct clickjacking attacks, bypass security restrictions and protection mechanisms, or have other unspecified impacts. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 91379 published 2016-05-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/91379 title GLSA-201605-06 : Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities (Logjam) (SLOTH) NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_C429276852734F17A267C5FE35125CE4.NASL description Mozilla Foundation reports : Security researcher Francis Gabriel reported a heap-based buffer overflow in the way the Network Security Services (NSS) libraries parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could create a specially crafted certificate which, when parsed by NSS, would cause it to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user. Mozilla developer Tim Taubert used the Address Sanitizer tool and software fuzzing to discover a use-after-free vulnerability while processing DER encoded keys in the Network Security Services (NSS) libraries. The vulnerability overwrites the freed memory with zeroes. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 89768 published 2016-03-09 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/89768 title FreeBSD : NSS -- multiple vulnerabilities (c4292768-5273-4f17-a267-c5fe35125ce4) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-3576.NASL description Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 91138 published 2016-05-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/91138 title Debian DSA-3576-1 : icedove - security update NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-480.NASL description This security update fixes serious security issues in NSS including arbitrary code execution and remote denial service attacks.

Security Fix(es) : - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way NSS handled DHE (Diffie- Hellman key exchange) and ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange) handshake messages. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted handshake message that, when parsed by an application linked against NSS, would cause that application to crash or, under certain special conditions, execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-1978) - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way NSS processed certain DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) encoded cryptographic keys. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted DER encoded certificate which, when parsed by an application compiled against the NSS library, could cause that application to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user running the application.

If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2805, CVE-2016-2807) Hanno Bock discovered that calculations with mp_div and mp_exptmod in NSS produce incorrect results in some circumstances, resulting in cryptographic weaknesses. (CVE-2016-1938) A use-after-free was discovered in ssl3_HandleECDHServerKeyExchange in NSS. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1978) A use-after-free was discovered in PK11_ImportDERPrivateKeyInfoAndReturnKey in NSS. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1979).
