1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-1492)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The cert_TestHostName function in lib/certdb/certdb.c in the certificate-checking implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.16 accepts a wildcard character that is embedded in an internationalized domain name's U-label, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a crafted certificate.
