Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-3029-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the USN-3029-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the USN-3029-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Tyson Smith and Jed Davis discovered that NSS incorrectly handled memory. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This update refreshes the NSS package to version 3.23 which includes the latest CA certificate bundle. As a security improvement, this update also modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH key sizes below 1024 bits, preventing a possible downgrade attack. Affected Software/OS: 'nss' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 16.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
