    Description:


    Mozilla NSS was updated to version 3.16.5 to fix a RSA certificate forgery
    issue.

    MFSA 2014-73 / CVE-2014-1568: Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, security researcher
    at Inria Paris in team Prosecco, reported an issue in Network Security
    Services (NSS) libraries affecting all versions. He discovered that NSS is
    vulnerable to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published
    by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1 values
    involved in a signature and could lead to the forging of RSA certificates.

    The Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security also independently
    discovered and reported this issue.
