A remote overflow exists in Network Security Services (NSS). Network Security Services (NSS) and products containing it fail to properly parse a long domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity.
