Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

NSS could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially crafted input.

Software Description: - nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

Francis Gabriel discovered that NSS incorrectly handled decoding certain ASN.1 data. An remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.10:
libnss3 2:3.21-0ubuntu0.15.10.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libnss3 2:3.21-0ubuntu0.14.04.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libnss3 2:3.21-0ubuntu0.12.04.3

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.
