NSS update as prerequisite for Firefox 58 to be released coming week (to TW).
- update to NSS 3.34.1
Changes in 3.34:

* libfreebl no longer requires SSE2 instructions
New functionality
* When listing an NSS database using certutil -L, but the database
hasn't yet been initialized with any non-empty or empty password,
the text "Database needs user init" will be included in the listing.
* When using certutil to set an inacceptable password in FIPS mode,
a correct explanation of acceptable passwords will be printed.
* SSLKEYLOGFILE is now supported with TLS 1.3, see bmo#1287711 for details.
* SSLChannelInfo has two new fields (bmo#1396525):
SSLNamedGroup originalKeaGroup holds the key exchange group of
the original handshake when the session was resumed.
PRBool resumed is PR_TRUE when the session is resumed and PR_FALSE
otherwise.
* RSA-PSS signatures are now supported on certificates. Certificates
with RSA-PSS or RSA-PKCS#1v1.5 keys can be used to create an RSA-PSS
signature on a certificate using the --pss-sign argument to certutil.
Changes in 3.34.1:
* The following CA certificate was Re-Added. It was removed in NSS
3.34, but has been re-added with only the Email trust bit set.
(bmo#1418678):
libfreebl no longer requires SSE2 instructionsCN = Certum CA, O=Unizeto Sp. z o.o.
* Removed entries from certdata.txt for actively distrusted

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.

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
- 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

been removed.
* Several functions have been added to the public API of the
NSS Cryptoki Framework.

- also sign libfreeblpriv3.so to allow FIPS mode again (boo#992236)
- 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).

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
