NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mozilla-nspr-32bit package and not the mozilla-nspr-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the way CHACHA20-POLY1305 was implemented in NSS in versions before 3.55. When using multi-part Chacha20, it could cause out-of-bounds reads. This issue was fixed by explicitly disabling multi-part ChaCha20 (which was not functioning correctly) and strictly enforcing tag length. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and system availability.
