A vulnerability found in nss. By this security vulnerability, nss client auth crash without a user certificate in the database and this can lead us to a segmentation fault or crash.

An update of the nss package has been released.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0636 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-0767:
    An attacker could construct a PKCS 12 cert bundle in such a way that could allow for arbitrary memory     writes via PKCS 12 Safe Bag attributes being mishandled. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110,     Thunderbird < 102.8, and Firefox ESR < 102.8.

    CVE-2022-3479:
    A vulnerability found in nss. By this security vulnerability, nss client auth crash without a user     certificate in the database and this can lead us to a segmentation fault or crash.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202212-05 (Mozilla Network Security Service (NSS):
Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow     when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures     encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for     certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how     they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and     PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and     Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
    (CVE-2021-43527)

  - A vulnerability found in nss. By this security vulnerability, nss client auth crash without a user     certificate in the database and this can lead us to a segmentation fault or crash. (CVE-2022-3479)

  - <code>NSSToken</code> objects were referenced via direct points, and could have been accessed in an unsafe     way on different threads, leading to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2022-1097)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of mozilla-nss installed on the remote host is prior to 3.84. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2022-307-01 advisory.
