The bug + fixes in NSS 3.19.2.3 are described in the "Security Fixes" section below. + + (Current users of NSS 3.19.3, NSS 3.19.4 or NSS 3.20.x are advised to update to + :ref:`mozilla_projects_nss_nss_3_21_1_release_notes`, + :ref:`mozilla_projects_nss_nss_3_22_2_release_notes`, or a later release.) + +.. _distribution_information: + +`Distribution Information <#distribution_information>`__ +-------------------------------------------------------- + +.. container:: + + The HG tag is NSS_3_19_2_3_RTM.

An attacker + could create a specially-crafted certificate which, when parsed by NSS, would cause a crash or + execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user. + +`Acknowledgements <#acknowledgements>`__ +---------------------------------------- + +.. container:: + + The NSS development team would like to thank security researcher Francis Gabriel for responsibly + disclosing the issue in `Bug 1245528 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245528>`__. + +`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__ +---------------------------------- + +.. container:: + + NSS 3.19.2.3 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A + program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.19.2.3 shared libraries + without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs + to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of + the NSS shared libraries. + +`Feedback <#feedback>`__ +------------------------ + +.. container:: + + Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with + `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS).
