A flaw was found in the way TLS False Start was implemented in NSS. An attacker could use this flaw to potentially return unencrypted information from the server. A race condition was found in the way NSS implemented session ticket handling as specified by RFC 5077. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using NSS or, in rare cases, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that application.

Applications built with NSS can support SSLv3, TLS, and other security standards. It was found that the implementation of Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications hostname matching in NSS did not follow the RFC 6125 recommendations. This could lead to certain invalid certificates with international characters to be accepted as valid. In addition, the nss, nss-util, and nss-softokn packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.16.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions.

Netscape Portable Runtime provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. A race condition was found in the way NSS verified certain certificates. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using NSS or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that application. A flaw was found in the way TLS False Start was implemented in NSS. An attacker could use this flaw to potentially return unencrypted information from the server.

If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. An out of bounds read was discovered in Web Audio. An attacker could potentially exploit this cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
cac7cbb67ced17c78361165cc7c3b566fff48bd23c5d90687e88e4ae5a84c369Ubuntu Security Notice 2159-1 - It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled wildcard certificates when used with internationalized domain names. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to spoof SSL servers.

6120fb4a8bf6d6ae054f4a491f7039bf7641e93ba9382dbe574ea9e812474cccMandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-066 - A vulnerability has been found and corrected in mozilla NSS. In a wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an internationalized domain name. See the last bullet point in RFC 6125, Section 7.2. The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest NSPR and NSS versions which is not vulnerable to this issue. Additionally the rootcerts package has also been updated to version 1.97, which adds, removes, and distrusts several certificates.
