RHBA-2012:0344 - nss bug fix update

Synopsis

nss bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated nss packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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 fixes the following bugs:

• Crashes were reported in the messaging daemon (qpidd) included in Red Hat Enterprise MRG after a recent update to nss. This occurred as qpidd made nss calls before initializing nss. These updated packages prevent qpidd, and other affected processes that call nss without initializing as mandated by the API, from crashing (BZ#798461, BZ#798462).

All users of nss are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

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 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
