============================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

NSS could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted certificate.

Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

Kaspar Brand discovered a vulnerability in how the Network Security
Services (NSS) ASN.1 decoder handles zero length items. If the user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted certificate, an attacker could
possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
libnss3-1d 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
libnss3-1d 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
use NSS, such as Evolution, to make all the necessary changes.
