Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14361
Category:Gain a shell remotely
Title:NSS Library SSLv2 Challenge Overflow
Summary:The remote host seems to be using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS); Library, a set of libraries designed to support the development of security-enabled client/server application.
Description:Summary:
The remote host seems to be using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS)
Library, a set of libraries designed to support the development of security-enabled client/server application.

Vulnerability Impact:
There seems to be a flaw in the remote version of this library, in the SSLv2 handling code, which may allow
an attacker to cause a heap overflow and therefore execute arbitrary commands on the remote host. To exploit this
flaw, an attacker would need to send a malformed SSLv2 'hello' message to the remote service.

Solution:
Upgrade the remote service to use NSS 3.9.2 or newer.

CVSS Score:
7.5
