Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.842277
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-2672-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the USN-2672-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the USN-2672-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that NSS incorrectly handled state
transitions for the TLS state machine. If a remote attacker were able to
perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to skip
the ServerKeyExchange message and remove the forward-secrecy property.
(CVE-2015-2721)

Watson Ladd discovered that NSS incorrectly handled Elliptical Curve
Cryptography (ECC) multiplication. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to spoof ECDSA signatures. (CVE-2015-2730)

As a security improvement, this update modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH
key sizes below 768 bits, preventing a possible downgrade attack.

This update also refreshes the NSS package to version 3.19.2 which includes
the latest CA certificate bundle.

Affected Software/OS:
'nss' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 15.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
