NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nss package and not the nss package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.2 does not ensure that data structures are initialized before read operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger a decryption failure.
