Mozilla · Network Security Services · CVE-2018-12384
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Network Security Services (NSS) versions prior to 3.39
**Description**
The issue is related to errors in generating values when handling SSLv2-compatible ClientHello requests, allowing for the full malleability of the ClientHello for SSLv2 used for TLS 1.2. This can enable a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information, potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the data. The vulnerability does not impact TLS 1.3.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.39, update to version 3.39 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of SSLv2-compatible ClientHello requests until a patch is available.
