Several vulnerabilities were discovered
in NSS, the cryptography library developed by the Mozilla project.

CVE-2015-4000
David Adrian et al. reported that it may be feasible to attack
Diffie-Hellman-based cipher suites in certain circumstances,
compromising the confidentiality and integrity of data encrypted
with Transport Layer Security (TLS).

CVE-2015-7181 CVE-2015-7182 CVE-2016-1950
Tyson Smith, David Keeler, and Francis Gabriel discovered
heap-based buffer overflows in the ASN.1 DER parser, potentially
leading to arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2015-7575
Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that TLS client implementation
accepted MD5-based signatures for TLS 1.2 connections with forward
secrecy, weakening the intended security strength of TLS
connections.

CVE-2016-1938
Hanno Boeck discovered that NSS miscomputed the result of integer
division for certain inputs. This could weaken the cryptographic
protections provided by NSS. However, NSS implements RSA-CRT leak
hardening, so RSA private keys are not directly disclosed by this
issue.

CVE-2016-1978
Eric Rescorla discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the
implementation of ECDH-based TLS handshakes, with unknown
consequences.

CVE-2016-1979
Tim Taubert discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in ASN.1 DER
processing, with application-specific impact.

CVE-2016-2834
Tyson Smith and Jed Davis discovered unspecified memory-safety
bugs in NSS.

In addition, the NSS library did not ignore environment variables in
processes which underwent a SUID/SGID/AT_SECURE transition at process
start. In certain system configurations, this allowed local users to
escalate their privileges.

This update contains further correctness and stability fixes without
immediate security impact.
