What is CVE-2013-1739?

The Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) library versions prior to 3.15.2 fail to properly initialize certain data structures before they are read. This oversight can be exploited by remote attackers to induce denial of service conditions, or potentially lead to undefined outcomes during decryption processes. It highlights the critical need for thorough initialization to avoid security risks in data handling.
