RHBA-2015:0110 - nss-softokn bug fix update

Synopsis

nss-softokn bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated nss-softokn packages that fix two bugs are now available for 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. Applications built with NSS can support SSLv3, TLS, and other security standards.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, changes in the spec file were introduced to meet FIPS requirements where a new libfreeblpriv3.so library was added along with its corresponding .chk file. However, the libreebl3.chk file was dropped which caused problems in dracut. As a consequence, when updating the nss-softokn packages to RHBA-2015:0048-02 advisory, brew failed to create a livecd process because nss-softokn was missing the aforementioned file. With this update, the nss-softoken.spec file has been modified to keep a dummy libfreebl3.chk, which ensures that dracut now works properly. (BZ#1182725)

• A bug introduced in a previous update caused the rpm and yum comands to fail. To fix this bug, a dependency on nss-softokn-freebl has been added to nss-softokn. As a result, yum and rpm now work correctly. (BZ#1183448)

Users of nss-softokn are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
