NSS Library SSLv2 Challenge Overflow |
||
|
Tests for the NSS SSLv2 challenge overflow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host seems to be using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) Library, a set of libraries designed to support the developement of security-enabled client/server application. There seems to be a flaw in the remote version of this library, in the SSLv2 handling code, which may permit a possible hacker to cause a heap overflow and therefore execute arbitrary commands on the remote host. To exploit this flaw, a possible hacker would need to send a malformed SSLv2 'hello' message to the remote service. Solution : Upgrade the remote service to use NSS 3.9.2 or newer.
