* 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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=177
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=175
* 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
mode.
* bmo#1119983: fixed interoperability of NSS server code with a
LibreSSL client.

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.

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.

New Functions:
* CERT_GetGeneralNameTypeFromString (This function was already added
in NSS 3.16.2, however, it wasn't declared in a public header file.)
Notable Changes:
* The following 1024-bit CA certificates were removed
- Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority
- GTE CyberTrust Global Root
- ValiCert Class 1 Policy Validation Authority
- ValiCert Class 2 Policy Validation Authority
- ValiCert Class 3 Policy Validation Authority
* Additionally, the following CA certificate was removed as
requested by the CA:
- TDC Internet Root CA
* The following CA certificates were added:
- Certification Authority of WoSign
- CA 沃通根证书
- DigiCert Assured ID Root G2
- DigiCert Assured ID Root G3
- DigiCert Global Root G2
- DigiCert Global Root G3
- DigiCert Trusted Root G4
- QuoVadis Root CA 1 G3
- QuoVadis Root CA 2 G3
- QuoVadis Root CA 3 G3
* The Trust Bits were changed for the following CA certificates
- Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority
- Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority
- Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2

New functionality:
* Added the "ECC" flag for modutil to select the module used for
elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) operations.
New Functions:
* PK11_ExportDERPrivateKeyInfo/PK11_ExportPrivKeyInfo
exports a private key in a DER-encoded ASN.1 PrivateKeyInfo type
or a SECKEYPrivateKeyInfo structure. Only RSA private keys are
supported now.
* SECMOD_InternalToPubMechFlags
converts from NSS-internal to public representation of mechanism
flags
New Types:
* ssl_padding_xtn
the value of this enum constant changed from the experimental
value 35655 to the IANA-assigned value 21
New Macros
* PUBLIC_MECH_ECC_FLAG
a public mechanism flag for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)
operations
* SECMOD_ECC_FLAG
an NSS-internal mechanism flag for elliptic curve cryptography
(ECC) operations. This macro has the same numeric value as
PUBLIC_MECH_ECC_FLAG.
Notable Changes:
* Imposed name constraints on the French government root CA ANSSI
(DCISS).

* required for Firefox 29
* bmo#903885 - (CVE-2014-1492) In a wildcard certificate, the wildcard
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.
* If the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE environment variable is set, skip the runtime
test sdb_measureAccess.
* The built-in roots module has been updated to version 1.97, which
adds, removes, and distrusts several certificates.
* The atob utility has been improved to automatically ignore lines of
text that aren't in base64 format.

* required for Firefox 28
* export FREEBL_LOWHASH to get the correct default headers
(bnc#865539)
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.

* Improved SSL/TLS false start. In addition to enabling the
SSL_ENABLE_FALSE_START option, an application must now register
a callback using the SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback function.
* When false start is enabled, libssl will sometimes return
unencrypted, unauthenticated data from PR_Recv
(CVE-2013-1740, bmo#919877)
New functionality
* Implemented OCSP querying using the HTTP GET method, which is
the new default, and will fall back to the HTTP POST method.
* Implemented OCSP server functionality for testing purposes
(httpserv utility).
* Support SHA-1 signatures with TLS 1.2 client authentication.
* Added the --empty-password command-line option to certutil,
to be used with -N: use an empty password when creating a new
database.
* Added the -w command-line option to pp: don't wrap long output
lines.
New functions

* 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
