========================================================================== 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.
