The definite_length_decoder function in lib/util/quickder.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16.2.4 and 3.17.x before 3.17.3 does not ensure that the DER encoding of an ASN.1 length is properly formed, which allows remote attackers to conduct data-smuggling attacks by using a long byte sequence for an encoding, as demonstrated by the SEC_QuickDERDecodeItem function's improper handling of an arbitrary-length encoding of 0x00.

According to its self-reported version, the Oracle iPlanet Web Server (formerly known as Sun Java System Web Server) running on the remote host is 6.1.x prior to 6.1.21 or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.22. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the definite_length_decoder() function in the Network Security Services (NSS) library due to a failure to ensure that the DER encoding of an ASN.1 length is properly formed when handling PKCS#1 signatures. A remote attacker, by using a long byte sequence for an encoding, can exploit this to conduct a data-smuggling attack or inject arbitrary code.

According to its self-reported version, the Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server (formerly known as Sun Java System Web Proxy Server) installed on the remote host is version 4.0.x prior to 4.0.26. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the definite_length_decoder() function in the Network Security Services (NSS) library due to a failure to ensure that the DER encoding of an ASN.1 length is properly formed when handling PKCS#1 signatures. A remote attacker, by using a long byte sequence for an encoding, can exploit this to conduct a data-smuggling attack or inject arbitrary code.

The version of Oracle GlassFish Server running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the bundled     Network Security Services (NSS) library because the     definite_length_decoder() function, in file quickder.c,     does not properly form the DER encoding of an ASN.1     length. A remote attacker, by using a long byte sequence     for an encoding, can exploit this issue to conduct     undetected smuggling of arbitrary data. (CVE-2014-1569)

  - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Java Server     Faces subcomponent. A remote attacker can exploit this     to affect the integrity of the system. (CVE-2015-2623)

  - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Java Server     Faces and Web Container subcomponents. A remote attacker     can exploit this to affect the integrity of the system.

nss 3.12.8-1+squeeze11 fixes two security issues :

CVE-2011-3389

SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 connections were vulnerable to some chosen plaintext attacks which allowed man-in-the middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers on an HTTPS session. This issue is known as the 'BEAST' attack.

CVE-2014-1569

Possible information leak with too-permissive ASN.1 DER decoding of length.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Mozilla NSS and NSPR packages :

The cert_TestHostName function in lib/certdb/certdb.c in the certificate-checking implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16 accepts a wildcard character that is embedded in an internationalized domain name's U-label, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a crafted certificate (CVE-2014-1492).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the CERT_DestroyCertificate function in libnss3.so in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.x, as used in Firefox before 31.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.7, and Thunderbird before 24.7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger certain improper removal of an NSSCertificate structure from a trust domain (CVE-2014-1544).

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16.2.1, 3.16.x before 3.16.5, and 3.17.x before 3.17.1, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0.3, Mozilla Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.1, Mozilla Thunderbird before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.2, Mozilla SeaMonkey before 2.29.1, Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.124 on Windows and OS X, and Google Chrome OS before 37.0.2062.120, does not properly parse ASN.1 values in X.509 certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof RSA signatures via a crafted certificate, aka a signature malleability issue (CVE-2014-1568).

The definite_length_decoder function in lib/util/quickder.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16.2.4 and 3.17.x before 3.17.3 does not ensure that the DER encoding of an ASN.1 length is properly formed, which allows remote attackers to conduct data-smuggling attacks by using a long byte sequence for an encoding, as demonstrated by the SEC_QuickDERDecodeItem function's improper handling of an arbitrary-length encoding of 0x00 (CVE-2014-1569).

Mozilla Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) before 4.10.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via vectors involving the sprintf and console functions (CVE-2014-1545).

The sqlite3 packages have been upgraded to the 3.8.6 version due to an prerequisite to nss-3.17.x.

Additionally the rootcerts package has also been updated to the latest version as of 2014-11-17, which adds, removes, and distrusts several certificates.

The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

It was discovered that the Mozilla Network Security Service library (nss) incorrectly handled certain ASN.1 lengths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a data-smuggling attack.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Updated nss packages fix security vulnerabilities :

In the QuickDER decoder in NSS before 3.17.3, ASN.1 DER decoding of lengths is too permissive, allowing undetected smuggling of arbitrary data (CVE-2014-1569).

This update adds support for the TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value (TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV) in NSS, which can be used to prevent protocol downgrade attacks against applications which re-connect using a lower SSL/TLS protocol version when the initial connection indicating the highest supported protocol version fails. This can prevent a forceful downgrade of the communication to SSL 3.0, mitigating CVE-2014-3566, also known as POODLE. SSL 3.0 support has also been disabled by default in this Firefox and Thunderbird update, further mitigating POODLE.
