USN-3850-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in NSS. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.

 generation. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to perform
 a cache-timing attack and recover private ECDSA keys. (CVE-2018-0495)

 It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain v2-compatible
 ClientHello messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
 to perform a replay attack. (CVE-2018-12384)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:
  libnss3                         2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.2

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use NSS, such as Evolution, to make all the necessary changes.
