Severity: Normal Title: Mozilla Network Security Service (NSS): RSA signature forgery Date: October 17, 2006 Bugs: #148283 ID: 200610-06

Synopsis ========
NSS fails to properly validate PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures.
Background ==========
The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security features like SSL v.2/v.3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME and X.509 certificates.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/nss < 3.11.3 >= 3.11.3
Description ===========
Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered that it might be possible to forge signatures signed by RSA keys with the exponent of 3. This affects a number of RSA signature implementations, including Mozilla's NSS.
Impact ======
Since several Certificate Authorities (CAs) are using an exponent of 3 it might be possible for an attacker to create a key with a false CA signature. This impacts any software using the NSS library, like the Mozilla products Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/nss-3.11.3"
Note: As usual after updating a library, you should run 'revdep-rebuild' (from the app-portage/gentoolkit package) to ensure that all applications linked to it are properly rebuilt.
