Synopsis:          Critical: nss, nss-util, and nspr security update

Advisory ID:       SLSA-2015:1981-1

Issue Date:        2015-11-04

CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-7181

                   CVE-2015-7182

                   CVE-2015-7183

--



A use-after-poison flaw and a heap-based buffer overflow flaw were found

in the way NSS parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could use

these flaws to cause NSS to crash or execute arbitrary code with the

permissions of the user running an application compiled against the NSS

library. (CVE-2015-7181, CVE-2015-7182)



A heap-based buffer overflow was found in NSPR. An attacker could use this

flaw to cause NSPR to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions

of the user running an application compiled against the NSPR library.

(CVE-2015-7183)



Note: Applications using NSPR's PL_ARENA_ALLOCATE, PR_ARENA_ALLOCATE,

PL_ARENA_GROW, or PR_ARENA_GROW macros need to be rebuild against the

fixed nspr packages to completely resolve the CVE-2015-7183 issue. This

erratum includes nss and nss-utils packages rebuilt against the fixed nspr

version.
