Notable changes
* In NSS version 3.35 the iteration count in optimized builds,
which is used for password based encryption algorithm related to
encrypted PKCS#7 or PKCS#12 data, was increased to one million
iterations. That change had caused an interoperability regression
with operating systems that are limited to 600 K iterations.
NSS 3.36.1 has been changed to use the same 600 K limit.
Bugs fixed
* Certain smartcard operations could result in a deadlock.
* Replaces existing vectorized ChaCha20 code with verified
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=260
New functionality
* TLS 1.3 support has been updated to draft -23. This includes a
large number of changes since 3.34, which supported only draft
-18. See below for details.
New Types
* SSLHandshakeType - The type of a TLS handshake message.
* For the SSLSignatureScheme enum, the enumerated values
ssl_sig_rsa_pss_sha* are deprecated in response to a change in
TLS 1.3. Please use the equivalent ssl_sig_rsa_pss_rsae_sha*
for rsaEncryption keys, or ssl_sig_rsa_pss_pss_sha* for PSS keys.
Note that this release does not include support for the latter.
Notable Changes
* Previously, NSS used the DBM file format by default. Starting
with version 3.35, NSS uses the SQL file format by default.
Additional information can be found on this Fedora Linux project
page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NSSDefaultFileFormatSql
* Added formally verified implementations of non-vectorized Chacha20
and non-vectorized Poly1305 64-bit.
* For stronger security, when creating encrypted PKCS#7 or PKCS#12 data,
the iteration count for the password based encryption algorithm
has been increased to one million iterations. Note that debug builds
will use a lower count, for better performance in test environments.
* NSS 3.30 had introduced a regression, preventing NSS from reading
some AES encrypted data, produced by older versions of NSS.
NSS 3.35 fixes this regression and restores the ability to read
affected data.
* The following CA certificates were Removed:
OU = Security Communication EV RootCA1

in RFC7512.
* Several new macros that start with PK11URI_QATTR_ for query attributes defined
in RFC7512.
Notable changes

range to the overlap with a systemwide crypto policy, if configured.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=243
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=241
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=231
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)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=228
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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=225
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=223
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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=221
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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=216
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

* required for Firefox 46.0
* Increase compatibility of TLS extended master secret,
don't send an empty TLS extension last in the handshake
(bmo#1243641)
- update to NSS 3.22.2
New functionality:
* RSA-PSS signatures are now supported (bmo#1215295)
* Pseudorandom functions based on hashes other than SHA-1 are now supported
* Enforce an External Policy on NSS from a config file (bmo#1009429)
New functions:
* PK11_SignWithMechanism - an extended version PK11_Sign()
* PK11_VerifyWithMechanism - an extended version of PK11_Verify()
* SSL_PeerSignedCertTimestamps - Get signed_certificate_timestamp
TLS extension data
* SSL_SetSignedCertTimestamps - Set signed_certificate_timestamp
TLS extension data
New types:
* ssl_signed_cert_timestamp_xtn is added to SSLExtensionType
* Constants for several object IDs are added to SECOidTag
New macros:
* SSL_ENABLE_SIGNED_CERT_TIMESTAMPS
* NSS_USE_ALG_IN_SSL
* NSS_USE_POLICY_IN_SSL
* NSS_RSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE
* NSS_DH_MIN_KEY_SIZE
* NSS_DSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE

* required for Firefox 44.0
New functionality:
* certutil now supports a --rename option to change a nickname (bmo#1142209)
* TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627) is supported (bmo#1117022)
* New info functions added for use during mid-handshake callbacks (bmo#1084669)
New Functions:
* NSS_OptionSet - sets NSS global options
* NSS_OptionGet - gets the current value of NSS global options
* SECMOD_CreateModuleEx - Create a new SECMODModule structure from module name
string, module parameters string, NSS specific parameters string, and NSS
configuration parameter string. The module represented by the module
structure is not loaded. The difference with SECMOD_CreateModule is the new
function handles NSS configuration parameter strings.
* SSL_GetPreliminaryChannelInfo - obtains information about a TLS channel prior
to the handshake being completed, for use with the callbacks that are invoked
during the handshake
* SSL_SignaturePrefSet - configures the enabled signature and hash algorithms
for TLS
* SSL_SignaturePrefGet - retrieves the currently configured signature and hash
algorithms
* SSL_SignatureMaxCount - obtains the maximum number signature algorithms that
can be configured with SSL_SignaturePrefSet
* NSSUTIL_ArgParseModuleSpecEx - takes a module spec and breaks it into shared
library string, module name string, module parameters string, NSS specific
parameters string, and NSS configuration parameter strings. The returned
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,
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=203
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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=190
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=184
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).
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=180
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=179
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/mozilla:Factory/mozilla-nss?expand=0&rev=173

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.

* 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.
