EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : nss-softokn (EulerOS-SA-2020-2523)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 144169
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the nss-softokn packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :- NSS has shown timing differences when performing DSA signatures, which was exploitable and could eventually leak private keys. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.9.0, Firefox < 77, and Firefox ESR < 68.9.(CVE-2020-12399)
- A flaw was found in the way CHACHA20-POLY1305 was implemented in NSS. When using multi-part Chacha20, it could cause out-of-bounds reads. This issue was fixed by explicitly disabling multi-part ChaCha20 (which was not functioning correctly) and strictly enforcing tag length. The highest threat from(CVE-2020-12403)
- When converting coordinates from projective to affine, the modular inversion was not performed in constant time, resulting in a possible timing-based side channel attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.(CVE-2020-12400)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
