Summary

nss vulnerabilities

Details

Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that NSS incorrectly handled state transitions for the TLS state machine. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to skip the ServerKeyExchange message and remove the forward-secrecy property. (CVE-2015-2721)

Watson Ladd discovered that NSS incorrectly handled Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) multiplication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof ECDSA signatures. (CVE-2015-2730)

As a security improvement, this update modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH key sizes below 768 bits, preventing a possible downgrade attack.

This update also refreshes the NSS package to version 3.19.2 which includes the latest CA certificate bundle.
