EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.0 : nss (EulerOS-SA-2023-1713)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 175212

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the nss packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.36.7 and before 3.41.1, a malformed signature can cause a crash due to a null dereference, resulting in a Denial of Service. (CVE-2018-18508)

- In Network Security Services before 3.44, a malformed Netscape Certificate Sequence can cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-17007)

- A flaw was found in the way NSS handled CCS (ChangeCipherSpec) messages in TLS 1.3. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send multiple CCS messages, causing a denial of service for servers compiled with the NSS library. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects NSS versions before 3.58. (CVE-2020-25648)

- NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
(CVE-2021-43527)

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

Solution

Update the affected nss packages.
