Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2159-1
April 02, 2014
nss vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 13.10
– Ubuntu 12.10
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
NSS could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.
Software Description:
– nss: Network Security Service library
Details:
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.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 13.10:
libnss3 2:3.15.4-0ubuntu0.13.10.2
Ubuntu 12.10:
libnss3 3.15.4-0ubuntu0.12.10.2
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libnss3 3.15.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.2
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libnss3-1d 3.15.4-0ubuntu0.10.04.2
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.
