+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.17.2 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.17.2>`__
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - `Bug 1049435 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049435>`__: Change
+ RSA_PrivateKeyCheck to not require p > q. This fixes a regression introduced in NSS 3.16.2
+ that prevented NSS from importing some RSA private keys (such as in PKCS #12 files) generated
+ by other crypto libraries.
+ - `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.
+ - `Bug 1078669 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1078669>`__: certutil crashes when
+ an argument is passed to the --certVersion option.

+
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=FIXED&classification=Components&query_format=advanced&product=NSS&target_milestone=3.17.2
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.17.2 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 3.17.2 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>`__

+.. container::
+
+ Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with
+ `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS). \ No newline at end of file
