Summary
Moderate: nss and nspr security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Details

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications.

Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: nss (3.67.0), nspr (4.32.0). (BZ#1967980)

Security Fix(es):

  • nss: TLS 1.3 CCS flood remote DoS Attack (CVE-2020-25648)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

  • 8025 error code when creating subCAs (BZ#1977412)

  • NSS cannot use SQL databases created by specific versions of NSS (BZ#1978443)

  • Inconsistent handling of malformed CertificateRequest messages (BZ#1980050)

Enhancement(s):

  • [IBM 8.5 FEAT] [P10] POWER10 performance enhancements for cryptography: NSS FreeBL (BZ#1978257)
