Package : nss
Date : August 7, 2009
Affected: 2009.0, 2009.1, Enterprise Server 5.0

Problem Description:

Security issues in nss prior to 3.12.3 could lead to a
man-in-the-middle attack via a spoofed X.509 certificate
(CVE-2009-2408) and md2 algorithm flaws (CVE-2009-2409), and also
cause a denial-of-service and possible code execution via a long
domain name in X.509 certificate (CVE-2009-2404).

This update provides the latest versions of NSS and NSPR libraries
which are not vulnerable to those attacks.
