+
+.. container::
+
+ - `TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00>`__
+ is a signaling cipher suite value that indicates a handshake is the result of TLS version
+ fallback.
+
+.. _new_macros:
+
+`New Macros <#new_macros>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ - *in ssl.h*
+

+ default.
+
+ - *in sslerr.h*
+
+ - **SSL_ERROR_INAPPROPRIATE_FALLBACK_ALERT** - a new SSL error code.
+
+ - *in sslproto.h*
+

+
+.. _notable_changes_in_nss_3.16.2.3:
+
+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.16.2.3 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.16.2.3>`__
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - `Bug 1057161 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057161>`__: Check that an imported
+ elliptic curve public key is valid. Previously NSS would only validate the peer's public key
+ before performing ECDH key agreement. Now EC public keys are validated at import time.
+
+.. _bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.16.2.3:
+
+`Bugs fixed in NSS 3.16.2.3 <#bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.16.2.3>`__
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - `Bug 1057161 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057161>`__ - NSS hangs with 100%
+ CPU on invalid EC key
+ - `Bug 1036735 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1036735>`__ - Add support for
+ draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv to NSS
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.16.2.3 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
+ program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.16.2.3 shared libraries
+ without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
+ to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of
+ the NSS shared libraries.
+
+`Feedback <#feedback>`__
