If this happens, place the hostinto maintenance mode, then activate it again to get the host back to an"Up" state.It was discovered that NSS leaked timing information when decryptingTLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suiteswere used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plaintext from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as apadding oracle. (CVE-2013-1620)It was found that the fix for CVE-2013-0167 released via RHSA-2013:0907was incomplete. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw tomake the host the guest is running on unavailable to the managementserver.

If an application using NSS decoded a malformed certificate,it could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2013-0791)Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reportingCVE-2013-0791.
