Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Network Security
Service libraries. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2009-2404
    Moxie Marlinspike discovered that a buffer overflow in the regular
    expression parser could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
  • CVE-2009-2408
    Dan Kaminsky discovered that NULL characters in certificate
    names could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks by tricking the user
    into accepting a rogue certificate.
  • CVE-2009-2409
    Certificates with MD2 hash signatures are no longer accepted
    since they’re no longer considered cryptograhically secure.

The old stable distribution (etch) doesn’t contain nss.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.12.3.1-0lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.12.3.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
