Synopsis

nspr, nss-util, and nss bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated nspr, nss-util, and nss packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. The nss-util packages provide utilities for use with the Network Security Services (NSS) libraries. Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications.

The following packages have been updated to the latest upstream versions: nspr (4.13.1), nss-util (3.28.2), nss (3.28.2). This provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. Notable enhancements include:

* The NSPR and NSS-UTIL libraries now provide new utility functions. In addition, the libraries have received a variety of bug fixes, including several thread safety problems.
* The Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension in NSS has been replaced by the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) extension.
* NSS now supports the Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters (FFDHE) negotiation.

(BZ#1421153, BZ#1421157, BZ#1421180)
