RHBA-2012:0497 - xulrunner bug fix update


Synopsis

xulrunner bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated xulrunner packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for applications using the Gecko layout engine.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, XULRunner incorrectly handled generation of cryptographic key pairs when using a third-party software token that implemented an additional cryptographic algorithm. As a consequence, this additional algorithm could have not been used for the key generation. With this update, use of third-party software tokens that implement additional cryptography algorithms for key generation is now supported correctly. (BZ#811205)

All users of xulrunner are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
