Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Data Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-7575)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.20.2, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0.2 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5.2, does not reject MD5 signatures in Server Key Exchange messages in TLS 1.2 Handshake Protocol traffic, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers by triggering a collision.
