Details

Updated nss packages that resolve an issue which caused applications to
fail software integrity tests when in FIPS mode are now available.

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support
cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server
applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS,
PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and
other security standards.

These updated nss packages fix the following bug:

NSS uses a software integrity test to detect code corruption. RPM
transactions and system link optimization daemons (such as prelink) can
change the contents of libraries, causing the software integrity test to
fail. In combination with the updated prelink package, these updated nss
packages can now prevent software integrity test failures.

All users of nss are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
