RHEA-2017:1394 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated nss packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 Extended Life Cycle Support.

Description

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the
cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• The Network Security Services (NSS) code and Certificate Authority (CA) list

have been updated to meet the recommendations as published with the latest
Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). The updated CA list improves
compatibility with the certificates that are used in the Internet Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI). To avoid certificate validation refusals, Red Hat
recommends installing the updated CA list on June 12, 2017. (BZ#1444410).

Users of nss are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this
enhancement.
