ISS X-Force has reported a vulnerability in the NSS library, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of records during SSLv2 connection negotiation. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted client hello message with an overly long record.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of an application linked to the vulnerable library.

Solution
