Synopsis
mod_nss bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated mod_nss package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The mod_nss module provides strong cryptography for the Apache HTTP Server
via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocols, using the Network Security Services (NSS) security library.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- PK11_ListCerts was called for every server instead of only once. If there
were more than a few hundred certificates in the database, the
PK11_ListCerts call could take several seconds or even minutes. (BZ#749408)
- ECC is now enabled by default for mod_nss. (BZ#749409)
- The fix for BZ#691502, related to clearing the SSL cache when mod_nss
started, introduced a file descriptor leak in the httpd Apache daemon. This
has been fixed. (BZ#797326 and BZ#797358)
Users of mod_nss are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
