Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703037
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3037-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'icedove' package(s) announced via the DSA-3037-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'icedove' package(s) announced via the DSA-3037-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Antoine Delignat-Lavaud from Inria discovered an issue in the way NSS (the Mozilla Network Security Service library, embedded in Wheezy's Icedove), was parsing ASN.1 data used in signatures, making it vulnerable to a signature forgery attack.

An attacker could craft ASN.1 data to forge RSA certificates with a valid certification chain to a trusted CA.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 24.8.1-1~
deb7u1.

For the testing distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), Icedove uses the system NSS library, handled in DSA 3033-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icedove packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'icedove' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
