Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for nss CESA-2016:0371 centos5
Summary:	Check the version of nss
Description:	Summary: Check the version of nss Vulnerability Insight: Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way NSS parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate which, when parsed by NSS, could cause it to crash, or execute arbitrary code, using the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the NSS library. (CVE-2016-1950) Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Francis Gabriel as the original reporter. All nss users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take effect, all applications linked to the nss library must be restarted, or the system rebooted. Affected Software/OS: nss on CentOS 5 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
