Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free error in the PK11ImportCert() function when adding NSSCertificate structures. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using unknown attack vectors to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system or cause a denial of service.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Netscape Network Security Services (NSS) library allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a modified record length field in an SSLv2 client hello message.
Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16.2.1, 3.16.x before 3.16.5, and 3.17.x before 3.17.1, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0.3, Mozilla Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.1, Mozilla Thunderbird before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.2, Mozilla SeaMonkey before 2.29.1, Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.124 on Windows and OS X, and Google Chrome OS before 37.0.2062.120, does not properly parse ASN.1 values in X.509 certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof RSA signatures via a crafted certificate, aka a "signature malleability" issue.
The Network Security Services (NSS) library before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox; GnuTLS before 2.6.4 and 2.7.4; OpenSSL 0.9.8 through 0.9.8k; and other products support MD2 with X.509 certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this issue is currently limited because the amount of computation required is still large.
In a wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an internationalized domain name. This was not properly implemented in NSS, as a result it did not handle IDNA domain prefixes according to RFC 6125, section 6.4.3 "Checking of Wildcard Certificates". http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-6.4.3
