medium Nessus Plugin ID 69598

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was found in the way the ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) decoder in NSS handled zero length items. This flaw could cause the decoder to incorrectly skip or replace certain items with a default value, or could cause an application to crash if, for example, it received a specially crafted OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) response. (CVE-2012-0441)

Solution

Run 'yum update nss' to update your system.
