  - 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.
