Security Fix(es):



* A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the way NSS handled empty

SSLv2 messages. An attacker could use this flaw to crash a server

application compiled against the NSS library. (CVE-2017-7502)



Bug Fix(es):



* The Network Security Services (NSS) code and Certificate Authority (CA)

list have been updated to meet the recommendations as published with the

latest Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). The updated CA list

improves compatibility with the certificates that are used in the Internet

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). To avoid certificate validation refusals,

consider installing the updated CA list on June 12, 2017.
