Title:	Ubuntu Update for nss USN-3029-1
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Tyson Smith and Jed Davis discovered that NSS incorrectly handled memory. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This update refreshes the NSS package to version 3.23 which includes the latest CA certificate bundle. As a security improvement, this update also modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH key sizes below 1024 bits, preventing a possible downgrade attack. Affected Software/OS: nss on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
