Detail

The SSL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9 does not properly set the minimum key length for Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.

Title: DSA-2123-1 nss -- several
Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla's Network Security Services library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2010-3170 NSS recognizes a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority. CVE-2010-3173 NSS does not properly set the minimum key length for Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 3.12.3.1-0lenny2. For the unstable distribution and the upcoming stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 3.12.8-1. We recommend that you upgrade your NSS packages.

Title: USN-1007-1 -- nss vulnerabilities
Description: Richard Moore discovered that NSS would sometimes incorrectly match an SSL certificate which had a Common Name that used a wildcard followed by a partial IP address. While it is very unlikely that a Certificate Authority would issue such a certificate, if an attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Nelson Bolyard discovered a weakness in the Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral mode key exchange implementation which allowed servers to use a too small key length
