+ <title>Mozilla Network Security Service: Remote execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The Mozilla Network Security Services libraries are vulnerable to two
+ buffer overflows that could result in the remote execution of arbitrary
+ code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security
+ features like SSL v2/v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
+ S/MIME and X.509 certificates.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ iDefense has reported two potential buffer overflow vulnerabilities
+ found by researcher "regenrecht" in the code implementing the SSLv2
+ protocol.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SSL master key to a
+ server using NSS for the SSLv2 protocol, or entice a user to connect to
+ a malicious server with a client-side application using NSS like one of
+ the Mozilla products. This could trigger the vulnerabilities and result
+ in the possible execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the
+ vulnerable application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable the SSLv2 protocol in the applications using NSS.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/nss-3.11.5"</code>
+ </resolution>
