RHBA-2012:0497 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated xulrunner packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for applications using the Gecko
layout engine.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, XULRunner incorrectly handled generation of cryptographic key

pairs when using a third-party software token that implemented an additional
cryptographic algorithm. As a consequence, this additional algorithm could have
not been used for the key generation. With this update, use of third-party
software tokens that implement additional cryptography algorithms for key
generation is now supported correctly. (BZ#811205)

All users of xulrunner are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
