Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2123-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'nss' package(s) announced via the DSA-2123-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'nss' package(s) announced via the DSA-2123-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla's Network Security Services (NSS) library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2010-3170

NSS recognizes a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

CVE-2010-3173

NSS does not properly set the minimum key length for Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 3.12.3.1-0lenny2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.12.8-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your NSS packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'nss' package(s) on Debian 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
