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

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
- 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).
* 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.

* 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.

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:

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.

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.
