An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-2408 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2408/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2408/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-2408","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2408/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-2408","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2009-2645","DEBIAN-CVE-2009-2408","GHSA-pm7c-vg9h-jxxc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla NSS library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can spoof SSL servers by exploiting improper null character handling in X.509 certificate Common Name fields.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"network_security_services","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"seamonkey","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.12.3, Firefox before 3.0.13, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.23, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.18 do not properly handle a '\\0' character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.
