openSUSE Security Update : mozilla-nss (openSUSE-SU-2014:1232-1)

High Nessus Plugin ID 77965

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Mozilla NSS is vulnerable to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1 values involved in a signature and could lead to the forging of RSA certificates.

Solution

Update the affected mozilla-nss packages.
