Description David Walser 2017-05-30 12:12:35 CEST

RedHat has issued an advisory today (May 30):
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-1365.html

I have updated to 3.28.5 in SVN, which just fixes one bug (the rootcerts changes have already been pushed), and added the patch for the security issue.

Advisory will be as follows.

Advisory:
========================

Updated nss packages fix security vulnerability:

A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the way NSS handled empty SSLv2
messages. An attacker could use this flaw to crash a server application
compiled against the NSS library (CVE-2017-7502).

Comment 2 Brian Rockwell 2017-06-03 21:56:57 CEST

Linux localhost 4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5 #1 SMP Sun May 14 17:56:12 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The following 4 packages are going to be installed:

- lib64nspr-devel-4.14-1.mga5.x86_64
- lib64nss-devel-3.28.5-1.mga5.x86_64
- lib64nss3-3.28.5-1.mga5.x86_64
- nss-3.28.5-1.mga5.x86_64

1.4MB of additional disk space will be used.

3.8MB of packages will be retrieved.

Is it ok to continue?


I am guessing here, but Redhat noted Firefox uses it so I installed the above and rebooted my machine to clear any cache.

Started Firefox and from Firefox using SSH into cloud-server.  That seems to be working as designed.

Also https to mail servers, etc.  All working equivalent.
