Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.840520
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1007-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'nspr, nss' package(s) announced via the USN-1007-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nspr, nss' package(s) announced via the USN-1007-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Richard Moore discovered that NSS would sometimes incorrectly match an SSL
certificate which had a Common Name that used a wildcard followed by a partial
IP address. While it is very unlikely that a Certificate Authority would issue
such a certificate, if an attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle
attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information.
