Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0114)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss, rootcerts' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0114 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss, rootcerts' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0114 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated rootcerts and nss packages fix security vulnerability: 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). This issue was supposed to have been fixed in MGASA-2016-0105, but Mozilla did not include the fix until the following nss releases. Affected Software/OS: 'nss, rootcerts' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
