Changelog for
mozilla-nss-3.31-1.1.x86_64.rpm :
Sat Aug 5 14:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.31
New functionality
* Allow certificates to be specified by RFC7512 PKCS#11 URIs.
* Allow querying a certificate object for its temporary or permanent
storage status in a thread safe way.
New functions
* CERT_GetCertIsPerm - retrieve the permanent storage status attribute of a
certificate in a thread safe way.
* CERT_GetCertIsTemp - retrieve the temporary storage status attribute of a
certificate in a thread safe way.
* PK11_FindCertFromURI - find a certificate identified by the given URI.
* PK11_FindCertsFromURI - find a list of certificates identified by the given
URI.
* PK11_GetModuleURI - retrieve the URI of the given module.
* PK11_GetTokenURI - retrieve the URI of a token based on the given slot
information.
* PK11URI_CreateURI - create a new PK11URI object from a set of attributes.
* PK11URI_DestroyURI - destroy a PK11URI object.
* PK11URI_FormatURI - format a PK11URI object to a string.
* PK11URI_GetPathAttribute - retrieve a path attribute with the given name.
* PK11URI_GetQueryAttribute - retrieve a query attribute with the given name.
* PK11URI_ParseURI - parse PKCS#11 URI and return a new PK11URI object.
New macros
* Several new macros that start with PK11URI_PATTR_ for path attributes defined
in RFC7512.
* Several new macros that start with PK11URI_QATTR_ for query attributes defined
in RFC7512.
Notable changes
* The APIs that set a TLS version range have been changed to trim the requested
range to the overlap with a systemwide crypto policy, if configured.
SSL_VersionRangeGetSupported can be used to query the overlap between the
library\'s supported range of TLS versions and the systemwide policy.
* Previously, SSL_VersionRangeSet and SSL_VersionRangeSetDefault returned a
failure if the requested version range wasn\'t fully allowed by the systemwide
crypto policy. They have been changed to return success, if at least one TLS
version overlaps between the requested range and the systemwide policy. An
application may call SSL_VersionRangeGet and SSL_VersionRangeGetDefault to
query the TLS version range that was effectively activated.
* Corrected the encoding of Domain Name Constraints extensions created by
certutil.
* NSS supports a clean seeding mechanism for
*NIX systems now using only
/dev/urandom. This is used only when SEED_ONLY_DEV_URANDOM is set at compile
time.
* CERT_AsciiToName can handle OIDs in dotted decimal form now.
- removed obsolete nss-fix-hash.patch
Wed Apr 26 14:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.30.2
New Functionality
* In the PKCS#11 root CA module (nssckbi), CAs with positive trust
are marked with a new boolean attribute, CKA_NSS_MOZILLA_CA_POLICY,
set to true. Applications that need to distinguish them from other
other root CAs, may use the exported function PK11_HasAttributeSet.
* Support for callback functions that can be used to monitor SSL/TLS
alerts that are sent or received.
New Functions
* CERT_CompareAVA - performs a comparison of two CERTAVA structures,
and returns a SECComparison result.
* PK11_HasAttributeSet - allows to check if a PKCS#11 object in a
given slot has a specific boolean attribute set.
* SSL_AlertReceivedCallback - register a callback function, that will
be called whenever an SSL/TLS alert is received
* SSL_AlertSentCallback - register a callback function, that will be
called whenever an SSL/TLS alert is sent
* SSL_SetSessionTicketKeyPair - configures an asymmetric key pair,
for use in wrapping session ticket keys, used by the server. This
function currently only accepts an RSA public/private key pair.
New Macros
* PKCS12_AES_CBC_128, PKCS12_AES_CBC_192, PKCS12_AES_CBC_256
cipher family identifiers corresponding to the PKCS#5 v2.1 AES
based encryption schemes used in the PKCS#12 support in NSS
* CKA_NSS_MOZILLA_CA_POLICY - identifier for a boolean PKCS#11
attribute, that should be set to true, if a CA is present because
of it\'s acceptance according to the Mozilla CA Policy
Notable Changes
* The TLS server code has been enhanced to support session tickets
when no RSA certificate (e.g. only an ECDSA certificate) is configured.
* RSA-PSS signatures produced by key pairs with a modulus bit length
that is not a multiple of 8 are now supported.
* The pk12util tool now supports importing and exporting data encrypted
in the AES based schemes defined in PKCS#5 v2.1.
Root CA updates
* The following CA certificates were Removed
- O = Japanese Government, OU = ApplicationCA
- CN = WellsSecure Public Root Certificate Authority
- CN = TÜRKTRUST Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Sağlayıcısı H6
- CN = Microsec e-Szigno Root
* The following CA certificates were Added
- CN = D-TRUST Root CA 3 2013
- CN = TUBITAK Kamu SM SSL Kok Sertifikasi - Surum 1
* The version number of the updated root CA list has been set to 2.14
(bmo#1350859)
* Domain name constraints for one of the new CAs have been added to the
NSS code (bmo#1349705)
- removed obsolete nss-bmo1320695.patch
Wed Apr 12 14:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.29.5
* Rare crashes in the base 64 decoder and encoder were fixed.
(bmo#1344380)
* A carry over bug in the RNG was fixed. (bmo#1345089)
- Allow use of session tickets when there is no ticket wrapping key
(boo#1015499, bmo#1320695) (nss-bmo1320695.patch)
Thu Mar 16 13:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.29.3
* enables TLS 1.3 by default
- TLS 1.3 was already enabled in 3.28.x builds for openSUSE.
This build option was removed.
- required for Firefox 53
Thu Mar 16 13:00:00 2017 rguentherAATTsuse.com
- Add nss-fix-hash.patch to fix hash computation (and build with
GCC 7 which complains about shifts of boolean values).
Mon Feb 20 13:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.28.3
* This is a patch release to fix binary compatibility issues.
NSS version 3.28, 3.28.1 and 3.28.2 contained changes that were
in violation with the NSS compatibility promise.
ECParams, which is part of the public API of the freebl/softokn
parts of NSS, had been changed to include an additional attribute.
That size increase caused crashes or malfunctioning with applications
that use that data structure directly, or indirectly through
ECPublicKey, ECPrivateKey, NSSLOWKEYPublicKey, NSSLOWKEYPrivateKey,
or potentially other data structures that reference ECParams.
The change has been reverted to the original state in bug
bmo#1334108.
SECKEYECPublicKey had been extended with a new attribute, named
\"encoding\". If an application passed type SECKEYECPublicKey to NSS
(as part of SECKEYPublicKey), the NSS library read the uninitialized
attribute. With this NSS release SECKEYECPublicKey.encoding is
deprecated. NSS no longer reads the attribute, and will always
set it to ECPoint_Undefined. See bug bmo#1340103.
- requires NSPR >= 4.13.1
Sun Feb 12 13:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.28.2
This is a stability and compatibility release. Below is a summary of
the changes.
* Fixed a NSS 3.28 regression in the signature scheme flexibility that
causes connectivity issues between iOS 8 clients and NSS servers
with ECDSA certificates (bmo#1334114)
* Fixed a possible crash on some Windows systems (bmo#1323150)
* Fixed a compatibility issue with TLS clients that do not provide a
list of supported key exchange groups (bmo#1330612)
Wed Jan 18 13:00:00 2017 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.28.1
No new functionality is introduced in this release. This is a patch release to
update the list of root CA certificates and address a minor TLS compatibility
issue that some applications experienced with NSS 3.28.
* The following CA certificates were Removed
CN = Buypass Class 2 CA 1
CN = Root CA Generalitat Valenciana
OU = RSA Security 2048 V3
* The following CA certificates were Added
OU = AC RAIZ FNMT-RCM
CN = Amazon Root CA 1
CN = Amazon Root CA 2
CN = Amazon Root CA 3
CN = Amazon Root CA 4
CN = LuxTrust Global Root 2
CN = Symantec Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority - G4
CN = Symantec Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority - G6
CN = Symantec Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G4
CN = Symantec Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G6
* The version number of the updated root CA list has been set to 2.11
* A misleading assertion/alert has been removed when NSS tries to flush data
to the peer but the connection was already reset.
- update to NSS 3.28
New functionality:
* NSS includes support for TLS 1.3 draft -18. This includes a number
of improvements to TLS 1.3:
- The signed certificate timestamp, used in certificate
transparency, is supported in TLS 1.3.
- Key exporters for TLS 1.3 are supported. This includes the early
key exporter, which can be used if 0-RTT is enabled. Note that
there is a difference between TLS 1.3 and key exporters in older
versions of TLS. TLS 1.3 does not distinguish between an empty
context and no context.
- The TLS 1.3 (draft) protocol can be enabled, by defining
NSS_ENABLE_TLS_1_3=1 when building NSS.
- NSS includes support for the X25519 key exchange algorithm,
which is supported and enabled by default in all versions of TLS.
New Functions:
* SSL_ExportEarlyKeyingMaterial
* SSL_SendAdditionalKeyShares
* SSL_SignatureSchemePrefSet
* SSL_SignatureSchemePrefGet
Notable Changes:
* NSS can no longer be compiled with support for additional elliptic curves.
This was previously possible by replacing certain NSS source files.
* NSS will now detect the presence of tokens that support additional
elliptic curves and enable those curves for use in TLS.
Note that this detection has a one-off performance cost, which can be
avoided by using the SSL_NamedGroupConfig function to limit supported
groups to those that NSS provides.
* PKCS#11 bypass for TLS is no longer supported and has been removed.
* Support for \"export\" grade SSL/TLS cipher suites has been removed.
* NSS now uses the signature schemes definition in TLS 1.3.
This also affects TLS 1.2. NSS will now only generate signatures with the
combinations of hash and signature scheme that are defined in TLS 1.3,
even when negotiating TLS 1.2.
- This means that SHA-256 will only be used with P-256 ECDSA certificates,
SHA-384 with P-384 certificates, and SHA-512 with P-521 certificates.
SHA-1 is permitted (in TLS 1.2 only) with any certificate for backward
compatibility reasons.
- New functions to configure signature schemes are provided:
SSL_SignatureSchemePrefSet, SSL_SignatureSchemePrefGet.
The old SSL_SignaturePrefSet and SSL_SignaturePrefSet functions are
now deprecated.
- NSS will now no longer assume that default signature schemes are
supported by a peer if there was no commonly supported signature scheme.
* NSS will now check if RSA-PSS signing is supported by the token that holds
the private key prior to using it for TLS.
* The certificate validation code contains checks to no longer trust
certificates that are issued by old WoSign and StartCom CAs after
October 21, 2016. This is equivalent to the behavior that Mozilla will
release with Firefox 51.
- update to NSS 3.27.2
* SSL_SetTrustAnchors leaks (bmo#1318561)
- removed upstreamed patch
* nss-uninitialized.patch
- raised the minimum softokn/freebl version to 3.28 as reported in
boo#1021636
Mon Nov 14 13:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.26.2
* required for Firefox 50.0
Changes in 3.26
New Functionality:
* the selfserv test utility has been enhanced to support ALPN
(HTTP/1.1) and 0-RTT
* added support for the System-wide crypto policy available on
Fedora Linux see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CryptoPolicy
* introduced build flag NSS_DISABLE_LIBPKIX that allows compilation
of NSS without the libpkix library
Notable Changes:
* The following CA certificate was Added
CN = ISRG Root X1
* NPN is disabled and ALPN is enabled by default
* the NSS test suite now completes with the experimental TLS 1.3
code enabled
* several test improvements and additions, including a NIST known answer test
Changes in 3.26.2
* MD5 signature algorithms sent by the server in CertificateRequest
messages are now properly ignored. Previously, with rare server
configurations, an MD5 signature algorithm might have been selected
for client authentication and caused the client to abort the
connection soon after.
Mon Aug 22 14:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.25
New functionality:
* Implemented DHE key agreement for TLS 1.3
* Added support for ChaCha with TLS 1.3
* Added support for TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use SHA384 as the PRF
* In previous versions, when using client authentication with TLS 1.2,
NSS only supported certificate_verify messages that used the same
signature hash algorithm as used by the PRF. This limitation has
been removed.
* Several functions have been added to the public API of the
NSS Cryptoki Framework.
New functions:
* NSSCKFWSlot_GetSlotID
* NSSCKFWSession_GetFWSlot
* NSSCKFWInstance_DestroySessionHandle
* NSSCKFWInstance_FindSessionHandle
Notable changes:
* An SSL socket can no longer be configured to allow both TLS 1.3 and SSLv3
* Regression fix: NSS no longer reports a failure if an application
attempts to disable the SSLv2 protocol.
* The list of trusted CA certificates has been updated to version 2.8
* The following CA certificate was Removed
Sonera Class1 CA
* The following CA certificates were Added
Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015
Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015
Certplus Root CA G1
Certplus Root CA G2
OpenTrust Root CA G1
OpenTrust Root CA G2
OpenTrust Root CA G3
Mon Aug 22 14:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- fix build on certain toolchains (nss-uninitialized.patch)
jarfile.c:805:13: error: \'it\' may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
Thu Aug 4 14:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- also sign libfreeblpriv3.so to allow FIPS mode again (boo#992236)
Sat Jul 30 14:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.24
New functionality:
* NSS softoken has been updated with the latest National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance (as of 2015):
- Software integrity checks and POST functions are executed on
shared library load. These checks have been disabled by default,
as they can cause a performance regression. To enable these
checks, you must define symbol NSS_FORCE_FIPS when building NSS.
- Counter mode and Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) have checks to
prevent counter overflow.
- Additional CSPs are zeroed in the code.
- NSS softoken uses new guidance for how many Rabin-Miller tests
are needed to verify a prime based on prime size.
* NSS softoken has also been updated to allow NSS to run in FIPS
Level 1 (no password). This mode is triggered by setting the
database password to the empty string. In FIPS mode, you may move
from Level 1 to Level 2 (by setting an appropriate password),
but not the reverse.
* A SSL_ConfigServerCert function has been added for configuring
SSL/TLS server sockets with a certificate and private key. Use
this new function in place of SSL_ConfigSecureServer,
SSL_ConfigSecureServerWithCertChain, SSL_SetStapledOCSPResponses,
and SSL_SetSignedCertTimestamps. SSL_ConfigServerCert automatically
determines the certificate type from the certificate and private key.
The caller is no longer required to use SSLKEAType explicitly to
select a \"slot\" into which the certificate is configured (which
incorrectly identifies a key agreement type rather than a certificate).
Separate functions for configuring Online Certificate Status Protocol
(OCSP) responses or Signed Certificate Timestamps are not needed,
since these can be added to the optional SSLExtraServerCertData struct
provided to SSL_ConfigServerCert. Also, partial support for RSA
Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS) certificates has been added.
Although these certificates can be configured, they will not be
used by NSS in this version.
New functions
* SSL_ConfigServerCert - Configures an SSL/TLS socket with a
certificate, private key, and other information.
* PORT_InitCheapArena - Initializes an arena that was created on
the stack. (See PORTCheapArenaPool.=
* PORT_DestroyCheapArena - Destroys an arena that was created on
the stack. (See PORTCheapArenaPool.)
New types
* SSLExtraServerCertData - Optionally passed as an argument to
SSL_ConfigServerCert. This struct contains supplementary information
about a certificate, such as the intended type of the certificate,
stapled OCSP responses, or Signed Certificate Timestamps (used for
certificate transparency).
* PORTCheapArenaPool - A stack-allocated arena pool, to be used for
temporary arena allocations.
New macros
* CKM_TLS12_MAC
* SEC_OID_TLS_ECDHE_PSK - This OID governs the use of the
TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 cipher suite, which is used
only for session resumption in TLS 1.3.
Notable changes:
* Deprecate the following functions. (Applications should instead use the new
SSL_ConfigServerCert function.):
- SSL_SetStapledOCSPResponses
- SSL_SetSignedCertTimestamps
- SSL_ConfigSecureServer
- SSL_ConfigSecureServerWithCertChain
* Deprecate the NSS_FindCertKEAType function, as it reports a misleading
value for certificates that might be used for signing rather than
key exchange.
* Update SSLAuthType to define a larger number of authentication key types.
* Deprecate the member attribute authAlgorithm of type SSLCipherSuiteInfo.
Instead, applications should use the newly added attribute authType.
* Rename ssl_auth_rsa to ssl_auth_rsa_decrypt.
* Add a shared library (libfreeblpriv3) on Linux platforms that
define FREEBL_LOWHASH.
* Remove most code related to SSL v2, including the ability to actively
send a SSLv2-compatible client hello. However, the server-side
implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol still supports processing
of received v2-compatible client hello messages.
* Disable (by default) NSS support in optimized builds for logging SSL/TLS
key material to a logfile if the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable
is set. To enable the functionality in optimized builds, you must define
the symbol NSS_ALLOW_SSLKEYLOGFILE when building NSS.
* Update NSS to protect it against the Cachebleed attack.
* Disable support for DTLS compression.
* Improve support for TLS 1.3. This includes support for DTLS 1.3.
Note that TLS 1.3 support is experimental and not suitable for
production use.
- removed obsolete nss-bmo1236011.patch
Thu May 26 14:00:00 2016 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to NSS 3.23
New functionality:
* ChaCha20/Poly1305 cipher and TLS cipher suites now supported
* Experimental-only support TLS 1.3 1-RTT mode (draft-11).
This code is not ready for production use.
New functions:
* SSL_SetDowngradeCheckVersion - Set maximum version for new
ServerRandom anti-downgrade mechanism. Clients that perform a
version downgrade (which is generally a very bad idea) call this
with the highest version number that they possibly support.
This gives them access to the version downgrade protection from
TLS 1.3.
Notable changes:
* The copy of SQLite shipped with NSS has been updated to version
3.10.2
* The list of TLS extensions sent in the TLS handshake has been
reordered to increase compatibility of the Extended Master Secret
with with servers
* The build time environment variable NSS_ENABLE_ZLIB has been
renamed to NSS_SSL_ENABLE_ZLIB
* The build time environment variable NSS_DISABLE_CHACHAPOLY was
added, which can be used to prevent compilation of the
ChaCha20/Poly1305 code.
* The following CA certificates were Removed
- Staat der Nederlanden Root CA
- NetLock Minositett Kozjegyzoi (Class QA) Tanusitvanykiado
- NetLock Kozjegyzoi (Class A) Tanusitvanykiado
- NetLock Uzleti (Class B) Tanusitvanykiado
- NetLock Expressz (Class C) Tanusitvanykiado
- VeriSign Class 1 Public PCA – G2

certain ASN.1 structures. An attacker could create a specially-crafted
certificate which, when parsed by NSS, would cause a crash or
execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user.

strings must be freed by the caller. The difference with
NSS_ArgParseModuleSpec is the new function handles NSS configuration
parameter strings.
* NSSUTIL_MkModuleSpecEx - take a shared library string, module name string,
module parameters string, NSS specific parameters string, and NSS
configuration parameter string and returns a module string which the caller
must free when it is done. The difference with NSS_MkModuleSpec is the new
function handles NSS configuration parameter strings.

PKCS#12 mechanisms for TLS 1.2 that are currently unused in NSS.
* CKM_TLS_MAC - computes TLS Finished MAC
* NSS_USE_ALG_IN_SSL_KX - policy flag indicating that keys are used in TLS key
exchange

- update to NSS 3.20
New functionality:
* The TLS library has been extended to support DHE ciphersuites in
server applications.
New Functions:
* SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet - Configure the set of allowed/enabled DHE group
parameters that can be used by NSS for a server socket.
* SSL_EnableWeakDHEPrimeGroup - Enable the use of weak DHE group
parameters that are smaller than the library default\'s minimum size.
New Types:
* SSLDHEGroupType - Enumerates the set of DHE parameters embedded in
NSS that can be used with function SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet.
New Macros:
* SSL_ENABLE_SERVER_DHE - A socket option user to enable or disable
DHE ciphersuites for a server socket.
Notable Changes:
* For backwards compatibility reasons, the server side implementation
of the TLS library keeps all DHE ciphersuites disabled by default.
They can be enabled with the new socket option SSL_ENABLE_SERVER_DHE
and the SSL_OptionSet or the SSL_OptionSetDefault API.
* The server side implementation of the TLS implementation does not
support session tickets when using a DHE ciphersuite (see bmo#1174677).
* Support for the following ciphersuites has been added:
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
* By default, the server side TLS implementation will use DHE
parameters with a size of 2048 bits when using DHE ciphersuites.
* NSS embeds fixed DHE parameters sized 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 and
8192 bits, which were copied from version 08 of the Internet-Draft
\"Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for
TLS\", Appendix A.
* A new API SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet has been added to NSS, which allows a
server application to select one or multiple of the embedded DHE
parameters as the preferred parameters. The current implementation of
NSS will always use the first entry in the array that is passed as a
parameter to the SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet API. In future versions of the
TLS implementation, a TLS client might signal a preference for
certain DHE parameters, and the NSS TLS server side implementation
might select a matching entry from the set of parameters that have
been configured as preferred on the server side.
* NSS optionally supports the use of weak DHE parameters with DHE
ciphersuites to support legacy clients. In order to enable this
support, the new API SSL_EnableWeakDHEPrimeGroup must be used. Each
time this API is called for the first time in a process, a fresh set
of weak DHE parameters will be randomly created, which may take a
long amount of time. Please refer to the comments in the header file
that declares the SSL_EnableWeakDHEPrimeGroup API for additional
details.
* The size of the default PQG parameters used by certutil when
creating DSA keys has been increased to use 2048 bit parameters.
* The selfserv utility has been enhanced to support the new DHE features.
* NSS no longer supports C compilers that predate the ANSI C standard (C89).

- update to 3.19.2
* required for Firefox 39.0
* No new functionality is introduced in this release. This release
addresses a backwards compatibility issue with the NSS 3.19.1
release.
* In NSS 3.19.1, the minimum key sizes that the freebl cryptographic
implementation (part of the softoken cryptographic module used
by default by NSS) was willing to generate or use was increased
- for RSA keys, to 512 bits, and for DH keys, 1023 bits. This
was done as part of a security fix for Bug 1138554 / CVE-2015-4000.
Applications that requested or attempted to use keys smaller
then the minimum size would fail. However, this change in behaviour
unintentionally broke existing NSS applications that need to
generate or use such keys, via APIs such as
SECKEY_CreateRSAPrivateKey or SECKEY_CreateDHPrivateKey.
Sun May 31 14:00:00 2015 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.19.1
No new functionality is introduced in this release. This patch
release includes a fix for the recently published logjam attack.
Notable Changes:
* The minimum strength of keys that libssl will accept for
finite field algorithms (RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and DSA) have
been increased to 1023 bits (bmo#1138554).
(MFSA 2015-70/CVE-2015-4000)
* NSS reports the bit length of keys more accurately. Thus,
the SECKEY_PublicKeyStrength and SECKEY_PublicKeyStrengthInBits
functions could report smaller values for values that have
leading zero values. This affects the key strength values that
are reported by SSL_GetChannelInfo.
* NSS incorrectly permits skipping of ServerKeyExchange
(bmo#1086145) (MFSA 2015-71/CVE-2015-2721)
Sat May 23 14:00:00 2015 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.19
* Firefox target release 39
New functionality:
* For some certificates, such as root CA certificates, that don\'t
embed any constraints, NSS might impose additional constraints,
such as name constraints. A new API has been added that allows
to lookup imposed constraints.
* It is possible to override the directory in which the NSS build
system will look for the sqlite library.
New Functions:
* CERT_GetImposedNameConstraints
Notable Changes:
* The SSL 3 protocol has been disabled by default.
* NSS now more strictly validates TLS extensions and will fail a
handshake that contains malformed extensions.
* Fixed a bug related to the ordering of TLS handshake messages.
* In TLS 1.2 handshakes, NSS advertises support for the SHA512
hash algorithm, in order to be compatible with TLS servers
that use certificates with a SHA512 signature.
Thu Apr 23 14:00:00 2015 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.18.1
* Firefox target release 38
* No new functionality is introduced in this release.
Notable Changes:
* The following CA certificate had the Websites and Code Signing
trust bits restored to their original state to allow more time
to develop a better transition strategy for affected sites:
- OU = Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
* The following CA certificate was removed:
- CN = e-Guven Kok Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Saglayicisi
* The following intermediate CA certificate has been added as
actively distrusted because it was mis-used to issue certificates
for domain names the holder did not own or control:
- CN=MCSHOLDING TEST, O=MCSHOLDING, C=EG
* The version number of the updated root CA list has been set
to 2.4
Fri Apr 3 14:00:00 2015 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.18
* Firefox target release 38
New functionality:
* When importing certificates and keys from a PKCS#12 source,
it\'s now possible to override the nicknames, prior to importing
them into the NSS database, using new API
SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames.
* The tstclnt test utility program has new command-line options
- C, -D, -b and -R.
Use -C one, two or three times to print information about the
certificates received from a server, and information about the
locally found and trusted issuer certificates, to diagnose
server side configuration issues. It is possible to run tstclnt
without providing a database (-D). A PKCS#11 library that
contains root CA certificates can be loaded by tstclnt, which
may either be the nssckbi library provided by NSS (-b) or
another compatible library (-R).
New Functions:
* SEC_CheckCrlTimes
* SEC_GetCrlTimes
* SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames
New Types:
* SEC_PKCS12NicknameRenameCallback
Notable Changes:
* The highest TLS protocol version enabled by default has been
increased from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2. Similarly, the highest DTLS
protocol version enabled by default has been increased from
DTLS 1.0 to DTLS 1.2.
* The default key size used by certutil when creating an RSA key
pair has been increased from 1024 bits to 2048 bits.
* The following CA certificates had the Websites and Code Signing
trust bits turned off:
- Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
- Equifax Secure Global eBusiness CA-1
- TC TrustCenter Class 3 CA II
* The following CA certificates were added:
- Staat der Nederlanden Root CA - G3
- Staat der Nederlanden EV Root CA
- IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1
- IdenTrust Public Sector Root CA 1
- S-TRUST Universal Root CA
- Entrust Root Certification Authority - G2
- Entrust Root Certification Authority - EC1
- CFCA EV ROOT
* The version number of the updated root CA list has been set
to 2.3

Sat Jan 31 13:00:00 2015 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.17.4
* Firefox target release 36
Notable Changes:
* bmo#1084986: If an SSL/TLS connection fails, because client and
server don\'t have any common protocol version enabled,
NSS has been changed to report error code
SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION (instead of reporting
SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP).
* bmo#1112461: libpkix was fixed to prefer the newest certificate,
if multiple certificates match.
* bmo#1094492: fixed a memory corruption issue during failure of
keypair generation.
* bmo#1113632: fixed a failure to reload a PKCS#11 module in FIPS

* Add support for little-endian powerpc64
Fri Aug 29 14:00:00 2014 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.17
* required for Firefox 33
New functionality:
* When using ECDHE, the TLS server code may be configured to generate
a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake, by setting the
SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY socket option to PR_FALSE. The
SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY option defaults to PR_TRUE, which means
the server\'s ephemeral ECDH key is reused for multiple handshakes.
This option does not affect the TLS client code, which always
generates a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake.
New Macros
* SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY
Notable Changes:
* The manual pages for the certutil and pp tools have been updated to
document the new parameters that had been added in NSS 3.16.2.
* On Windows, the new build variable USE_STATIC_RTL can be used to
specify the static C runtime library should be used. By default the
dynamic C runtime library is used.
Tue Aug 12 14:00:00 2014 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.16.4 (bnc#894201)
* now required for Firefox 32
Notable Changes:
* The following 1024-bit root CA certificate was restored to allow more
time to develop a better transition strategy for affected sites. It was
removed in NSS 3.16.3, but discussion in the mozilla.dev.security.policy
forum led to the decision to keep this root included longer in order to
give website administrators more time to update their web servers.
- CN = GTE CyberTrust Global Root
* In NSS 3.16.3, the 1024-bit \"Entrust.net Secure Server Certification
Authority\" root CA certificate was removed. In NSS 3.16.4, a 2048-bit
intermediate CA certificate has been included, without explicit trust.
The intention is to mitigate the effects of the previous removal of the
1024-bit Entrust.net root certificate, because many public Internet
sites still use the \"USERTrust Legacy Secure Server CA\" intermediate
certificate that is signed by the 1024-bit Entrust.net root certificate.
The inclusion of the intermediate certificate is a temporary measure to
allow those sites to function, by allowing them to find a trust path to
another 2048-bit root CA certificate. The temporarily included
intermediate certificate expires November 1, 2015.

given suffix
* The certutil commands supports additionals types of subject
alt name extensions.
* The certutil command supports generic certificate extensions,
by loading binary data from files, which have been prepared using
external tools, or which have been extracted from other existing
certificates and dumped to file.
* The certutil command supports three new certificate usage specifiers.
* The pp command supports printing UTF-8 (-u).
* On Linux, NSS is built with the -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
compiler flags and the --gc-sections linker flag to allow unused
functions to be discarded.
Thu May 8 14:00:00 2014 wrAATTrosenauer.org

character should not be embedded within the U-label of an
internationalized domain name. See the last bullet point in RFC 6125,
Section 7.2.
* Supports the Linux x32 ABI. To build for the Linux x32 target, set
the environment variable USE_X32=1 when building NSS.
New Functions:
* NSS_CMSSignerInfo_Verify
New Macros
* TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, etc.,
cipher suites that were first defined in SSL 3.0 can now be referred
to with their official IANA names in TLS, with the TLS_ prefix.
Previously, they had to be referred to with their names in SSL 3.0,
with the SSL_ prefix.
Notable Changes:
* ECC is enabled by default. It is no longer necessary to set the
environment variable NSS_ENABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS. To disable
ECC, set the environment variable NSS_DISABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS.
* libpkix should not include the common name of CA as DNS names when
evaluating name constraints.
* AESKeyWrap_Decrypt should not return SECSuccess for invalid keys.
* Fix a memory corruption in sec_pkcs12_new_asafe.

New functionality
* Added support for the TLS application layer protocol negotiation
(ALPN) extension. Two SSL socket options, SSL_ENABLE_NPN and
SSL_ENABLE_ALPN, can be used to control whether NPN or ALPN (or both)
should be used for application layer protocol negotiation.
* Added the TLS padding extension. The extension type value is 35655,
which may change when an official extension type value is assigned
by IANA. NSS automatically adds the padding extension to ClientHello
when necessary.
* Added a new macro CERT_LIST_TAIL, defined in certt.h, for getting
the tail of a CERTCertList.
Notable Changes
* bmo#950129: Improve the OCSP fetching policy when verifying OCSP
responses
* bmo#949060: Validate the iov input argument (an array of PRIOVec
structures) of ssl_WriteV (called via PR_Writev). Applications should
still take care when converting struct iov to PRIOVec because the
iov_len members of the two structures have different types
(size_t vs. int). size_t is unsigned and may be larger than int.

* TLS 1.2 (RFC 5246) is supported. HMAC-SHA256 cipher suites
(RFC 5246 and RFC 5289) are supported, allowing TLS to be used
without MD5 and SHA-1.
Note the following limitations:
The hash function used in the signature for TLS 1.2 client
authentication must be the hash function of the TLS 1.2 PRF,
which is always SHA-256 in NSS 3.15.1.
AES GCM cipher suites are not yet supported.
* some bugfixes and improvements

- require libnssckbi instead of mozilla-nss-certs so p11-kit can
conflict with the latter (fate#314991)
Tue Jun 11 14:00:00 2013 wrAATTrosenauer.org
- update to 3.15
* Packaging
+ removed obsolete patches
* nss-disable-expired-testcerts.patch
* bug-834091.patch
* New Functionality
+ Support for OCSP Stapling (RFC 6066, Certificate Status
Request) has been added for both client and server sockets.
TLS client applications may enable this via a call to
SSL_OptionSetDefault(SSL_ENABLE_OCSP_STAPLING, PR_TRUE);
+ Added function SECITEM_ReallocItemV2. It replaces function
SECITEM_ReallocItem, which is now declared as obsolete.
+ Support for single-operation (eg: not multi-part) symmetric
key encryption and decryption, via PK11_Encrypt and PK11_Decrypt.
+ certutil has been updated to support creating name constraints
extensions.
* New Functions
in ssl.h
SSL_PeerStapledOCSPResponse - Returns the server\'s stapled
OCSP response, when used with a TLS client socket that
negotiated the status_request extension.
SSL_SetStapledOCSPResponses - Set\'s a stapled OCSP response
for a TLS server socket to return when clients send the
status_request extension.
in ocsp.h
CERT_PostOCSPRequest - Primarily intended for testing, permits
the sending and receiving of raw OCSP request/responses.
in secpkcs7.h
SEC_PKCS7VerifyDetachedSignatureAtTime - Verifies a PKCS#7
signature at a specific time other than the present time.
in xconst.h
CERT_EncodeNameConstraintsExtension - Matching function for
CERT_DecodeNameConstraintsExtension, added in NSS 3.10.
in secitem.h
SECITEM_AllocArray
SECITEM_DupArray
SECITEM_FreeArray
SECITEM_ZfreeArray - Utility functions to handle the
allocation and deallocation of SECItemArrays
SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 - Replaces SECITEM_ReallocItem, which is
now obsolete. SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 better matches caller
expectations, in that it updates item->len on allocation.
For more details of the issues with SECITEM_ReallocItem,
see Bug 298649 and Bug 298938.
in pk11pub.h
PK11_Decrypt - Performs decryption as a single PKCS#11
operation (eg: not multi-part). This is necessary for AES-GCM.
PK11_Encrypt - Performs encryption as a single PKCS#11
operation (eg: not multi-part). This is necessary for AES-GCM.
* New Types
in secitem.h
SECItemArray - Represents a variable-length array of SECItems.
* New Macros
in ssl.h
SSL_ENABLE_OCSP_STAPLING - Used with SSL_OptionSet to configure
TLS client sockets to request the certificate_status extension
(eg: OCSP stapling) when set to PR_TRUE
* Notable changes
+ SECITEM_ReallocItem is now deprecated. Please consider using
SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 in all future code.
+ The list of root CA certificates in the nssckbi module has
been updated.
+ The default implementation of SSL_AuthCertificate has been
updated to add certificate status responses stapled by the TLS
server to the OCSP cache.
