Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 13.10 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: NSS could be made to expose sensitive information over the network. Software Description: - nss: Network Security Service library Details: It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled wildcard certificates when used with internationalized domain names. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to spoof SSL servers. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 13.10: Ubuntu 12.10: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to make all the necessary changes.
