Detail
| Product: Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Sun Java Enterprise System 2005 A heap overflow vulnerability in Network Security Services (NSS) may allow a remote SSL server to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) to SSL client applications or to possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SSL client application, via a long domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, related to the "cert_TestHostName" function. Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin and Evolution are examples of vulnerable SSL client applications. This issue is also described in the following document: CVE-2009-2404 at: http://www.security-database.com/detail.php?cve=CVE-2009-2404 State: Resolved First released: 13-Oct-2009 |

| 56724 | Mozilla Multiple Products Regex Parser X.509 Certificate Common Name (CN) Fie... A remote overflow exists in Network Security Services (NSS). Network Security Services (NSS) and products containing it fail to properly parse a long domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
