* required by Firefox 63.0
Notable bug fixes
* NSS responded to an SSLv2-compatible ClientHello with a
ServerHello that had an all-zero random (CVE-2018-12384) (bmo#1483128)
New functionality
* The tstclnt and selfserv utilities added support for configuring
the enabled TLS signature schemes using the -J parameter.
* NSS will use RSA-PSS keys to authenticate in TLS. Support for
these keys is disabled by default but can be enabled using
SSL_SignatureSchemePrefSet().
* certutil added the ability to delete an orphan private key from
an NSS key database.
* Added the nss-policy-check utility, which can be used to check
an NSS policy configuration for problems.
* A PKCS#11 URI can be used as an identifier for a PKCS#11 token.
Notable changes
* The TLS 1.3 implementation uses the final version number from
RFC 8446.
* Previous versions of NSS accepted an RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature
where the DigestInfo structure was missing the NULL parameter.
Starting with version 3.39, NSS requires the encoding to contain
the NULL parameter.
* The tstclnt and selfserv test utilities no longer accept the -z
parameter, as support for TLS compression was removed in a
previous NSS version.
* The CA certificates list was updated to version 2.26.
* The following CA certificates were Added:
- OU = GlobalSign Root CA - R6
- CN = OISTE WISeKey Global Root GC CA

* required by Firefox 62.0
New Functionality
* Added support for the TLS Record Size Limit Extension
* When creating a certificate request (CSR) using certutil -R, an
existing orphan private key can be reused. Parameter -k may be
used to specify the ID of an existing orphan key. The available
orphan key IDs can be displayed using command certutil -K.
* When using certutil -O to print the chain for a given certificate
nickname, the new parameter --simple-self-signed may be provided,
which can avoid ambiguous output in some scenarios.
New Functions
* SECITEM_MakeItem - Allocate and make an item with the requested contents
(secitem.h)
New Macros

* The code to support the NPN protocol has been fully removed.
* NSS allows servers now to register ALPN handling callbacks to
select a protocol.
* NSS supports opening SQL databases in read-only mode.
* On Linux, some build configurations can use glibc's function
getentropy(), which uses the kernel's getrandom() function.
* The CA list was updated to version 2.24, which removed the
following CA certificates:
- CN = S-TRUST Universal Root CA
- CN = TC TrustCenter Class 3 CA II
- CN = TÜRKTRUST Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Sağlayıcısı H5

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:

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.

* 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

* 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

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

* 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
