CVE-2009-2404 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2404):
  Heap-based buffer overflow in a regular-expression parser in Mozilla
  Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox,
  Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Evolution, Pidgin, and AOL Instant Messenger
  (AIM), allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service
  (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long
  domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509
  certificate, related to the cert_TestHostName function.

CVE-2009-2408 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2408):
  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.
  NOTE: this was originally reported for Firefox before 3.5.

Nothing for mozilla team to do here, none of the affected versions/packages are in-tree anymore.
