Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2361-1
September 24, 2014

nss vulnerability
============================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Fraudulent security certificates could allow sensitive information to
be exposed when accessing the Internet.

Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

Antoine Delignat-Lavaud and others discovered that NSS incorrectly handled
parsing ASN.1 values. An attacker could use this issue to forge RSA
certificates.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  libnss3                         2:3.17.1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  libnss3                         3.17.1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
  libnss3-1d                      3.17.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to make all the necessary
changes.
