==========================================================================

Summary:

NSS could be made to stop responding if it received a specially crafted message.

Software Description:

Details:

Lenny Wang discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain
messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
servers compiled with NSS to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.

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