+ - `Bug 1245528 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245528>`__ /
+ `CVE-2016-1950 <http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-1950>`__ - Fixed a
+ heap-based buffer overflow related to the parsing of certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker
+ could create a specially-crafted certificate which, when parsed by NSS, would cause a crash or
+ execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user.
+
+`Acknowledgements <#acknowledgements>`__
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The NSS development team would like to thank security researcher Francis Gabriel for responsibly
+ disclosing the issue in `Bug 1245528 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245528>`__.
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.19.2.3 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
+ program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.19.2.3 shared libraries
+ without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
+ to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of
+ the NSS shared libraries.
+
+`Feedback <#feedback>`__
+------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with
+ `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS). \ No newline at end of file
