Synopsis:          Moderate: nss security and bug fix update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2021:0538-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0538
Issue date:        2021-02-16
CVE Names:         CVE-2020-6829 CVE-2020-12400 CVE-2020-12403
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for nss is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) - aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support
the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server
applications.

Security Fix(es):

* nss: Side channel attack on ECDSA signature generation (CVE-2020-6829)

* nss: P-384 and P-521 implementation uses a side-channel vulnerable
modular inversion function (CVE-2020-12400)

* nss: CHACHA20-POLY1305 decryption with undersized tag leads to
out-of-bounds read (CVE-2020-12403)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* Support key wrap/unwrap with RSA-OAEP (BZ#1896431)

* 1536bit group from RFC3526 is allowed in FIPS mode when in policy DH-MIN
is set to be lower than 1536 (BZ#1896432)

* when NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE not set, after curl access https, dentry increase
but never released - consider alternative algorithm for benchmarking ACCESS
call in sdb_measureAccess [rhel-8] (BZ#1896933)

* Policy should allow overriding library defaults (BZ#1898702)

* KDF-self-tests-induced changes for nss in RHEL 8.4 (BZ#1898953)

* nss: non-blocksize requests to IKEv1 KDF returns bogus output
(BZ#1904408)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, applications using NSS (for example, Firefox)
must be restarted for this update to take effect.
