RHEA-2009:0403 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
mod_nss enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An enhanced mod_nss package is now available.
Description
mod_nss provides strong cryptography for the Apache Web server via the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols,
using the Network Security Services (NSS) security library.
This update back-ports the PassphraseDialog "defer" configuration option in
NSS. When this parameter is set to "defer", only those tokens listed in
the file are authenticated at startup. With the "builtin" and "file"
options for the PassphraseDialog parameter, all tokens are authenticated,
even if the token password is not defined. That can cause an authentication
failure which prevents the Apache server from starting.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
