Race condition in libssl in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, SeaMonkey before 2.24, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving a resumption handshake that triggers incorrect replacement of a session ticket.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old NSS TLS library flaw that can let a remote party crash affected software during a resumed TLS handshake. It affected NSS before 3.15.4 and products that embedded it, including older Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and some vendor platforms. Public sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where obsolete NSS libraries or dependent products remain in use, especially TLS-capable clients, servers, appliances, or bundled vendor software from the affected era. Modern maintained systems are less likely to be exposed if OS and application packages have been updated since 2014. Handle as a moderate legacy remediation item. It is not supported by KEV evidence in the bundle, but vulnerable TLS components can be remotely crashed and may exist in older embedded products. Prioritize discovery and removal of obsolete NSS-dependent software over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Update NSS to 3.15.4 or later through supported vendor packages.; Upgrade affected Firefox, Firefox ESR, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey versions to fixed releases.; Review VMware, Oracle, Linux distribution, and application vendor advisories for embedded NSS exposure..
