SSL Vulnerability??

[JV <jessevalentin () yahoo com>]

Here’s an interesting link having to do with a vulnerability found in the Netscape NSS library which will impact any 
“products making use of the library for SSL communication”. Might be possible to remotely compromise any sites affected 
by this issue.

 

This has the potential to be very ugly since any site using SSL is usually trying to protect something valuable… 
banking, health information, etc.. 

 

Some products making use of this library suite are:

Netscape - Enterprise Server (NES) - All known versions

Netscape - Personalization Engine (NPE) - All known versions

Netscape - Directory Server (NDS) - All known versions

Netscape - Certificate Management Server (CMS) - All known versions

Sun  - Sun One/iPlanet - All known versions

Any application or product that integrates the NSS library suite and

which implements SSLv2 ciphers

 

 

Check out this link for more info and vendor supplied patches, etc.
