Red Hat Security Advisory: nss security update Security Advisory secalert@redhat.com Red Hat Security Response Team RHSA-2012:0532 Final 1 1 2012-04-30T17:03:00Z Current version 2012-04-30T17:03:00Z 2012-04-30T17:03:00Z Red Hat rhsa-to-cvrf 1.0.1478 2012-05-01T14:46:28Z Updated nss packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 Extended Update Support The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued fraudulent HTTPS certificates. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted. This covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code signing. (BZ#734316) Note: This fix only applies to applications using the NSS Builtin Object Token. It does not render the certificates untrusted for applications that use the NSS library, but do not use the NSS Builtin Object Token. All NSS users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the update, applications using NSS must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
