Background
==========
The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security

S/MIME and X.509 certificates.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 dev-libs/nss < 3.15.3 >= 3.15.3

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Mozilla Network
Security Service. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below
for more details about the vulnerabilities.

Impact
======
A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
