  "details": "Karthik Bhargavan and Gaetan Leurent discovered that the DES and Triple DES\nciphers were vulnerable to birthday attacks. A remote attacker could\npossibly use this flaw to obtain clear text data from long encrypted\nsessions. This update causes NSS to limit use of the same symmetric key.\n(CVE-2016-2183)\n\nIt was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled Base64 decoding. A remote\nattacker could use this flaw to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial\nof service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5461)\n\nThis update refreshes the NSS package to version 3.28.4 which includes\nthe latest CA certificate bundle.\n",
