Mozilla Foundation reports:

Security researcher Francis Gabriel reported a heap-based
buffer overflow in the way the Network Security Services
(NSS) libraries parsed certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker
could create a specially-crafted certificate which, when
parsed by NSS, would cause it to crash or execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user.

Mozilla developer Tim Taubert used the Address Sanitizer
tool and software fuzzing to discover a use-after-free
vulnerability while processing DER encoded keys in the
Network Security Services (NSS) libraries. The vulnerability
overwrites the freed memory with zeroes.
