The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2672-1 advisory.
Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that NSS incorrectly handled state transitions for the TLS state machine.
If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to skip the ServerKeyExchange message and remove the forward-secrecy property. (CVE-2015-2721)
Watson Ladd discovered that NSS incorrectly handled Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) multiplication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof ECDSA signatures. (CVE-2015-2730)
As a security improvement, this update modifies NSS behaviour to reject DH key sizes below 768 bits, preventing a possible downgrade attack.
This update also refreshes the NSS package to version 3.19.2 which includes the latest CA certificate bundle.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
