nss-3.22

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Previous version 2.21 includes security fix

CVE-2015-7575 - Prevent MD5 Downgrade in TLS 1.2 Signatures.

If you have an older version, upgrade to 3.22.

I did not inform it when it was released, so giving this one high priority tag, to warn it.

NSS 3.22 release notes

Introduction

The NSS team has released Network Security Services (NSS) 3.22, which is a minor release.

Distribution Information

The HG tag is NSS_3_22_RTM. NSS 3.22 requires NSPR 4.11 or newer.


New in NSS 3.22

New Functionality

 • RSA-PSS signatures are now supported (bug 1215295)
      ◦ New functions PK11_SignWithMechanism() and
        PK11_SignWithMechanism() are provided to allow RSA keys to be
        used with PSS.
 • Pseudorandom functions based on hashes other than SHA-1 are now
   supported with PBKDF (bug 554827).
      ◦ PK11_CreatePBEV2AlgorithmID() now supports SEC_OID_PKCS5_PBKDF2
        with cipherAlgTag and prfAlgTag set to SEC_OID_HMAC_SHA256,
        SEC_OID_HMAC_SHA224, SEC_OID_HMAC_SHA384, or
        SEC_OID_HMAC_SHA512.
 • Enforce an External Policy on NSS from a config file (bug 1009429)
      ◦ you can now add a config= line to pkcs11.txt (assuming you are
        using sql databases), which will force NSS to restrict the
        application to certain cryptographic algorithms and protocols. A
        complete list can be found in NSS Config Options.

New Functions

 • in pk11pub.h
      ◦ PK11_SignWithMechanism - This function is an extended version
        PK11_Sign().
      ◦ PK11_VerifyWithMechanism - This function is an extended version
        of PK11_Verify().
            ▪ These functions take an explicit mechanism and parameters
              as arguments rather than inferring it from the key type
              using PK11_MapSignKeyType().  The mechanism type
              CKM_RSA_PKCS_PSS is now supported for RSA in addition to
              CKM_RSA_PKCS.  The CK_RSA_PKCS_PSS mechanism takes a
              parameter of type CK_RSA_PKCS_PSS_PARAMS.
 • in ssl.h
      ◦ SSL_PeerSignedCertTimestamps - Get signed_certificate_timestamp
        TLS extension data
      ◦ SSL_SetSignedCertTimestamps - Set signed_certificate_timestamp
        TLS extension data

New Types

 • in secoidt.h
      ◦ The following are added to SECOidTag:
            ▪ SEC_OID_AES_128_GCM
            ▪ SEC_OID_AES_192_GCM
            ▪ SEC_OID_AES_256_GCM

            ▪ SEC_OID_RC2_40_CBC
            ▪ SEC_OID_DES_40_CBC
            ▪ SEC_OID_RC4_40
            ▪ SEC_OID_RC4_56
            ▪ SEC_OID_NULL_CIPHER
            ▪ SEC_OID_HMAC_MD5
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_RSA
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_DHE_RSA

            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_DH_RSA
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_DH_DSS
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_DH_ANON
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_ECDHE_RSA
            ▪ SEC_OID_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA

Notable Changes in NSS 3.22

 • NSS C++ tests are built by default, requiring a C++11 compiler.  Set
   the NSS_DISABLE_GTESTS variable to 1 to disable building these tests.

Compatibility

NSS 3.22 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 3.22 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.
