CVE-2013-6659: The SSLClientSocketNSS::Core::OwnAuthCertHandler function in net/socket/ssl_client_socket_nss.cc in Google...

The SSLClientSocketNSS::Core::OwnAuthCertHandler function in net/socket/ssl_client_socket_nss.cc in Google Chrome before 33.0.1750.117 does not prevent changes to server X.509 certificates during renegotiations, which allows remote SSL servers to trigger use of a new certificate chain, inconsistent with the user's expectations, by initiating a TLS renegotiation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious or compromised SSL server could make old Chrome versions accept a different certificate chain during TLS renegotiation than the user originally saw. This creates trust confusion, not a server compromise. The issue is historical and only the provided sources name Google Chrome before 33.0.1750.117. Exposure appears limited to legacy Google Chrome clients older than 33.0.1750.117. The source bundle does not identify other products, supported platforms, or modern affected versions. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected old Chrome clients still exist. If they do, prioritize removal because browser trust failures can undermine secure user sessions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome clients to 33.0.1750.117 or later.; Retire unsupported Chrome versions from managed environments.; Review Debian and openSUSE advisories where those packages were used..
