# CVE-2014-1568: Security feature bypass in n/a > Remote attackers can spoof RSA signatures in X.509 certificates due to improper ASN.1 parsing in the Mozilla NSS library, bypassing security checks. - **Severity:** High 7.5 (`AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 25 Sep 2014 - **Updated:** 6 Aug 2024 - **Also known as:** DEBIAN-CVE-2014-1568, DLA-62-1, DSA-3033-1, DSA-3034-1, DSA-3037-1, GHSA-7399-wc2p-9q6p, MGASA-2014-0391, RHSA-2014:1307, RHSA-2014:1371, UBUNTU-CVE-2014-1568, USN-2360-1, USN-2360-2, USN-2361-1 ## What is CVE-2014-1568? CVE-2014-1568 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome, published on 25 Sep 2014. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16.2.1, 3.16.x before 3.16.5, and 3.17.x before 3.17.1, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0.3, Mozilla Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.1, Mozilla Thunderbird before 24.8.1 and 31.x before 31.1.2, Mozilla SeaMonkey before 2.29.1, Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.124 on Windows and OS X, and Google Chrome OS before 37.0.2062.120, does not properly parse ASN.1 values in X.509 certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof RSA signatures via a crafted certificate, aka a "signature malleability" issue.

What it is: CVE-2014-1568 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome, published on 25 Sep 2014. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-1568 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Google Chrome. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
