Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-39) - Linux
Summary:This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.
Description:Summary:
This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Vulnerability Insight:
NSS parsing errors with zero length items
Security researcher Kaspar Brand found a flaw in how the
Network Security Services (NSS) ASN.1 decoder handles zero length items. Effects
of this issue depend on the field. One known symptom is an unexploitable crash
in handling OCSP responses. NSS also mishandles zero-length basic constraints,
assuming default values for some types that should be rejected as malformed.
These issues have been addressed in NSS 3.13.4, which is now being used by
Mozilla.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 13.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.

CVSS Score:
5.0
