Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

USN-5892-1 fixed a vulnerability in NSS. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

 Christian Holler discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain PKCS 12
 certificated bundles. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS
 to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary

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

Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:

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