MiracleLinux 3 : nspr-4.10.2-2.AXS3, nss-3.15.3-4.AXS3 (AXSA:2014-237:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 291509

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2014-237:01 advisory.

 nss: Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards.
 nspr: NSPR provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. These facilities include threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free) and shared library linking.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2013-1739 Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.2 does not ensure that data structures are initialized before read operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger a decryption failure.
 CVE-2013-1741 Integer overflow in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.15 before 3.15.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large size value.
 CVE-2013-5605 Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.14 before 3.14.5 and 3.15 before 3.15.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via invalid handshake packets.
 CVE-2013-5606 The CERT_VerifyCert function in lib/certhigh/certvfy.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.15 before 3.15.3 provides an unexpected return value for an incompatible key-usage certificate when the CERTVerifyLog argument is valid, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted certificate.
 CVE-2013-5607 Integer overflow in the PL_ArenaAllocate function in Mozilla Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) before 4.10.2, as used in Firefox before 25.0.1, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.11 and 24.x before 24.1.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.22.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted X.509 certificate, a related issue to CVE-2013-1741.
 Marked an intermediate certificate from a subordinate Certificate Authority (CA) as untrusted as it was mis-issued and allowed for man-in-the-middle attacks. Note: This only applies to applications using the NSS Builtin Object Token. Applications that use the NSS library but not the NSS Builtin Object Token will not see this certificate as untrusted.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected nss, nss-devel and / or nss-tools packages.
