[SECURITY] [DLA 946-1] nss security update



Package        : nss
Version        : 2:3.26-1+debu7u3
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-5461 CVE-2017-5462
Debian Bug     : 862958

The NSS library is vulnerable to two security issues:

CVE-2017-5461

    Out-of-bounds write in Base64 encoding. This can trigger a crash
    (denial of service) and might be exploitable for code execution.

CVE-2017-5462

    A flaw in DRBG number generation where the internal state V does not
    correctly carry bits over.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
2:3.26-1+debu7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
