Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Firefox, Thunderbird, Network Security Services (NSS), and NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) with the worst of which may allow remote execution of arbitrary code.

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird an open-source email client, and the Network Security Service (NSS) is a library implementing security features like SSL v.2/v.3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME and X.509 certificates. The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as ‘Mozilla Application Suite’.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firefox, NSS, NSPR, and Thunderbird. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, spoof the address bar, conduct clickjacking attacks, bypass security restrictions and protection mechanisms, or have other unspecified impacts.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/nss-3.22.2"
All Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/thunderbird-38.7.0"
All users of the Thunderbird binary package should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/thunderbird-bin-38.7.0"
All Firefox 38.7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/firefox-38.7.0"
All users of the Firefox 38.7.x binary package should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/firefox-bin-38.7.0"
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey, the worst of which may allow user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
