Package        : nss
Version        : 3.26-1+debu7u1

The Network Security Service (NSS) libraries uses 
environment variables to configure lots of things, some of which refer to
file system locations. Others can be degrade the operation of NSS in various
ways, forcing compatibility modes and so on.

Previously, these environment variables were not ignored SUID
binaries. This version of NetScape Portable Runtime Library (NSPR)
introduce a new API, PR_GetEnVSecure, to address this.

Both NSPR and NSS need to be upgraded to address this problem.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in NSS version
3.26-1+debu7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
