.. _new_in_nss_3.16:
`New in NSS 3.16 <#new_in_nss_3.16>`__
--------------------------------------
.. container::
.. _new_functionality:
`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
- Supports the Linux x32 ABI. (This requires NSPR 4.10.4.) To build for the Linux x32 target,
set the environment variable USE_X32=1 when building NSS.
.. rubric:: New Functions
:name: new_functions
- *in cms.h*
- **NSS_CMSSignerInfo_Verify** - verify the signature of a single SignerInfo. It just
verifies the signature, assuming that the certificate has been verified already.
.. rubric:: New Macros
:name: new_macros
- *in sslproto.h*
- **TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, etc.** - cipher suites that were
first defined in SSL 3.0 can now be referred to with their official IANA names in TLS, with
the TLS\_ prefix. Previously, they had to be referred to with their names in SSL 3.0, with
the SSL\_ prefix.
.. _notable_changes_in_nss_3.16:
`Notable Changes in NSS 3.16 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.16>`__
--------------------------------------------------------------
.. container::
- ECC is enabled by default. It is no longer necessary to set the environment variable
NSS_ENABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS. To disable ECC, set the environment variable
NSS_DISABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS.
- `Bug 903885 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903885>`__: (CVE-2014-1492) In a
wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an
internationalized domain name. See the last bullet point in `RFC 6125, Section
7.2 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6125#section-7.2>`__.
- `Bug 962760 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=962760>`__: libpkix should not
include the common name of CA as DNS names when evaluating name constraints.
- `Bug 981170 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=981170>`__: AESKeyWrap_Decrypt
should not return SECSuccess for invalid keys.
- `Bug 974693 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=974693>`__: Fix a memory corruption
in sec_pkcs12_new_asafe.
- `Bug 956082 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956082>`__: If the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE
environment variable is set, skip the runtime test sdb_measureAccess.
- The built-in roots module has been updated to version 1.97, which adds, removes, and distrusts
several certificates.
- The atob utility has been improved to automatically ignore lines of text that aren't in base64
format.
- The certutil utility has been improved to support creation of version 1 and version 2
certificates, in addition to the existing version 3 support.
