RHBA-2011:0692 - nspr, nss, nss-softokn, and nss-util bug fix and enhancement update
Synopsis
nspr, nss, nss-softokn, and nss-util bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated nspr and nss related packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. These facilities include threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing, calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free), and shared library linking.
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS, and other security standards.
These updated nspr and nss related packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes:
https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.1_Technical_Notes/index.html
All nspr and nss users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues and provide these enhancements.
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 This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
