Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-2903-1 introduced a regression in NSS.

Software Description: - nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

USN-2903-1 fixed a vulnerability in NSS. An incorrect package versioning change in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS caused a regression when building software against NSS. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Hanno Böck discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain division
functions, possibly leading to cryptographic weaknesses. (CVE-2016-1938)
This update also refreshes the NSS package to version 3.21 which includes
the latest CA certificate bundle, and removes the SPI CA.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libnss3-dev 2:3.21-0ubuntu0.12.04.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
