CVE-2016-2834 NSS vulnerability
Title: NSS vulnerability
Summary: NSS could be made to crash or run programs if it processed specially
crafted network traffic.
Tyson Smith and Jed Davis discovered that NSS incorrectly handled memory. A
remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
This update refreshes the NSS package to version 3.23 which includes
the latest CA certificate bundle. As a security improvement, this update
also modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH key sizes below 1024 bits,
preventing a possible downgrade attack.
Instructions: This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to mak

nss: Multiple security flaws (MFSA 2016-61)
Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.23, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 47.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
Multiple buffer handling flaws were found in the way NSS handled cryptographic data from the network. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash an application using NSS or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user running the application.
Mitigation: Do not use NSS to parse untrusted certificates.
