Incorrect boundary conditions in the Libraries component in NSS

Incorrect boundary conditions in the Libraries component in NSS. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 152 and Thunderbird 152.

Integer overflow in the Libraries component in NSS

Integer overflow in the Libraries component in NSS. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 148, Firefox ESR 140.8, Thunderbird 148, Thunderbird 140.8, and Firefox ESR 115.35.

CVE-2023-5388

NSS was susceptible to a timing side-channel attack when performing RSA decryption. This attack could potentially allow an attacker to recover the private data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.

CVE-2023-6135

Multiple NSS NIST curves were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as "Minerva". This attack could potentially allow an attacker to recover the private key. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 121.

CVE-2023-4421

The NSS code used for checking PKCS#1 v1.5 was leaking information useful in mounting Bleichenbacher-like attacks. Both the overall correctness of the padding as well as the length of the encrypted message was leaking through timing side-channel. By sending large number of attacker-selected ciphertexts, the attacker would be able to decrypt a previously intercepted PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext (for example, to decrypt a TLS session that used RSA key exchange), or forge a signature using the victim's key. The issue was fixed by implementing the implicit rejection algorithm, in which the NSS returns a deterministic random message in case invalid padd

CVE-2023-0767

An attacker could construct a PKCS 12 cert bundle in such a way that could allow for arbitrary memory writes via PKCS 12 Safe Bag attributes being mishandled. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110, Thunderbird < 102.8, and Firefox ESR < 102.8.

• Update to 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.14+esm4

CVE-2022-34480

Within the <code>lg_init()</code> function, if several allocations succeed but then one fails, an uninitialized pointer would have been freed despite never being allocated. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102.

• Update to 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.14+esm3

CVE-2022-22747

After accepting an untrusted certificate, handling an empty pkcs7 sequence as part of the certificate data could have lead to a crash. This crash is believed to be unexploitable. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5.

• Update to 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.14+esm3

CVE-2021-43527

NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and Evince are believed to be impa

CVE-2017-11698

Heap-based buffer overflow in the __get_page function in lib/dbm/src/h_page.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact using a crafted cert8.db file.

CVE-2017-11697

The __hash_open function in hash.c:229 in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and crash) via a crafted cert8.db file.

CVE-2017-11696

Heap-based buffer overflow in the __hash_open function in lib/dbm/src/hash.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact using a crafted cert8.db file.

CVE-2017-11695

Heap-based buffer overflow in the alloc_segs function in lib/dbm/src/hash.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact using a crafted cert8.db file.
