Vulnerability Name:

CCN-70880

Published:2011-10-04
Updated:2011-10-04
Summary:Network Security Services (NSS), as used in multiple products, could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper construction of a file path for the pkcs11.txt configuration file by the NSS_NoDB_Init() function. By persuading a victim to load a configuration file from a WebDAV or SMB share using the library directive, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
