Description Arvid Requate

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #41565 +++

Upstream Debian package version 2:4.9.2-1+deb7u4 of nspr (NetScape Portable Runtime Library) fixes this issue:

* Memory allocation issue related to PR_*printf functions (CVE-2016-1951)

Comment 1 Arvid Requate

2016-11-05 20:44:26 CET

Upstream Debian package has bee updated to version 2:4.12-1+deb7u1 which fixes:


The Network Security Service (NSS) libraries uses environment variables to configure lots of things, some of which refer to file system locations. Others can be degrade the operation of NSS in various ways, forcing compatibility modes and so on.

Previously, these environment variables were not ignored SUID binaries. This version of NetScape Portable Runtime Library (NSPR) introduce a new API, PR_GetEnVSecure, to address this.

Both NSPR and NSS need to be upgraded to address this problem.
