RHBA-2011:1844 - nss-softokn bug fix update
Synopsis
nss-softokn bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated nss-softokn packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the development of security-enabled client and server applications. The nss-softokn packages provide NSS Softoken Cryptographic Module.
This update fixes the following bug:
- On a 64-bit CPU with native AES instruction support, the intel_aes_decrypt_cbc_256() function did not work correctly when input and output buffers were the same and the function call failed with the message "data mismatch". This update fixes the code and the same buffer can be used for input and output. (BZ#716532)
All users of nss-softokn are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. After installing the update, applications using NSS must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
