[ MDVSA-2010:069 ] nss

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : nss
Date : April 6, 2010
Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in nss:

The TLS protocol, and the SSL protocol 3.0 and possibly earlier, as
used in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, mod_ssl
in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14 and earlier, OpenSSL before 0.9.8l,
GnuTLS 2.8.5 and earlier, Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS)
3.12.4 and earlier, and other products, does not properly associate
renegotiation handshakes with an existing connection, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to insert data into HTTPS sessions,
and possibly other types of sessions protected by TLS or SSL, by
sending an unauthenticated request that is processed retroactively
by a server in a post-renegotiation context, related to a plaintext
injection attack, aka the Project Mogul issue (CVE-2009-3555).

Additionally the NSPR package has been upgraded to 4.8.4 that brings
numerous upstream fixes.

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

This update provides the latest versions of NSS and NSPR libraries
and for which NSS is not vulnerable to this attack.
