Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2013-11-18 05:23 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:59
Severity
Summary
The CERT_VerifyCert function in lib/certhigh/certvfy.c in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.15 before 3.15.3 provides an unexpected return value for an incompatible key-usage certificate when the CERTVerifyLog argument is valid, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted certificate.
