Mandriva: nss

LinuxSecurity.com: Security issues in nss prior to 3.12.3 could lead to a man-in-the-middle attack via a spoofed X.509 certificate (CVE-2009-2408) and md2 algorithm flaws (CVE-2009-2409), and also cause a denial-of-service and possible code execution via a long domain name in X.509 certificate (CVE-2009-2404). This update provides the latest versions of NSS and NSPR libraries which are not vulnerable to those attacks. Update: Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.

NAME

       x509 - X.509 certificate handling

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/x509.h>

DESCRIPTION

       A X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine.	A X.509 CRL (cer-
       tificate revocation list) is a tool to help determine if a certificate is still valid.  The exact definition of those can be found in the
       X.509 document from ITU-T, or in RFC3280 from PKIX.  In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and the type X509_CRL
       is used to express a CRL.

       A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from RSA Security, Inc, also reflected in RFC2896.  In OpenSSL, the type
       X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request.

       To handle some complex parts of a certificate, there are the types X509_NAME (to express a certificate name), X509_ATTRIBUTE (to express a
       certificate attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate extension) and a few more.

       Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a certificate and a corresponding private key.

       X509_..., d2i_X509_... and i2d_X509_... handle X.509 certificates, with some exceptions, shown below.

       X509_CRL_..., d2i_X509_CRL_... and i2d_X509_CRL_...  handle X.509 CRLs.

       X509_REQ_..., d2i_X509_REQ_... and i2d_X509_REQ_...  handle PKCS#10 certificate requests.

       X509_NAME_... handle certificate names.

       X509_ATTRIBUTE_... handle certificate attributes.

       X509_EXTENSION_... handle certificate extensions.
