Topic

Updated mod_nss packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

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 bug:

  • Due to a regression, the mod_proxy module no longer worked when configured to

support SSL reverse proxy operation. The following error message was logged:

[error] SSL Proxy: I don't have the name of the host we're supposed to
connect to so I can't verify that we are connecting to who we think we should
be. Giving up.

A new patch has been applied and the mod_proxy module now works correctly to
support SSL reverse proxy. (BZ#849044)

All users of mod_nss 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
