Synopsis:          Important: nss and nspr security, bug fix, and 
enhancement update
Issue Date:        2013-01-31
CVE Numbers:       None
--

It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) mis-issued two intermediate
certificates to customers. These certificates could be used to launch 
man-in-
the-middle attacks. This update renders those certificates as untrusted. 
This
covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code 
signing.

In addition, the nss package has been upgraded to upstream version 
3.13.6, and
the nspr package has been upgraded to upstream version 4.9.2. These updates
provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions.

After installing the update, applications using NSS and NSPR must be 
restarted
for the changes to take effect.
