Synopsis: Critical: nss security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:0371-1 Issue Date: 2016-03-09 CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-1950 -- A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way NSS parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate which, when parsed by NSS, could cause it to crash, or execute arbitrary code, using the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the NSS library. (CVE-2016-1950) For the update to take effect, all applications linked to the nss library must be restarted, or the system rebooted. -- SL5 x86_64 nss-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-3.19.1-4.el5_11.x86_64.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.19.1-4.el5_11.x86_64.rpm nss-tools-3.19.1-4.el5_11.x86_64.rpm nss-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.x86_64.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.x86_64.rpm i386 nss-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-tools-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.19.1-4.el5_11.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
