Detail

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

- Ubuntu 17.04 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

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

Software Description: - nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

Martin Thomson discovered that NSS incorrectly generated handshake hashes. A 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 17.04:
libnss3 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.17.04.3

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libnss3 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.3

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libnss3 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.14.04.3

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.
