Mozilla fixes critical bug in cross-platform cryptography library

Mozilla has addressed a critical memory corruption vulnerability affecting its cross-platform Network Security Services (NSS) set of cryptography libraries. The security flaw can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures in email clients and PDF viewers using vulnerable NSS versions. The impact of successful heap overflow exploitation can range from program crashes and arbitrary code execution to bypassing security software if code execution is achieved. NSS is used by Mozilla, Red Hat, SUSE, and others in a wide variety of products.”]
