Henry Corrigan-Gibbs discovered that NSS incorrectly handled importing certain curve25519 private keys. An attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11719)

Hubert Kario discovered that NSS incorrectly handled PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures when using TLSv1.3. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trick NSS into using PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, contrary to expectations. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 19.04.
(CVE-2019-11727)

Jonas Allmann discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain p256-ECDH public keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-11729).

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