nss vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 17.04
– Ubuntu 16.10
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
NSS could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.
Software Description:
– nss: Network Security Service library
Details:
It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain empty SSLv2
messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NSS to
crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.04:
libnss3 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.17.04.2
Ubuntu 16.10:
libnss3 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.10.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

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.
