DISPUTED Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.x, with certain
settings of the SSL_ENABLE_RENEGOTIATION option, does not properly restrict
client-initiated renegotiation within the SSL and TLS protocols, which
might make it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
consumption) by performing many renegotiations within a single connection,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1473. NOTE: it can also be argued
that it is the responsibility of server deployments, not a security
library, to prevent or limit renegotiation when it is inappropriate within
a specific environment.
