According to slackware, per https://lwn.net/Articles/773818/

patches/packages/mozilla-nss-3.40.1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.

Upgraded to nss-3.40.1 and nspr-4.20. Mitigate cache side-channel variant of the Bleichenbacher attack. For more information, see:

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-12404

(* Security fix *)

Perhaps we should also require nspr >= 4.20 in the patch.

Update in r20775.

Keeping open in the hope I can find time to sort out the details of the test build, add that to the wiki, and then expand the comment.

Failed to get tests running with 3.40.1, I've updated the wiki with details of what I know and reworded the text in the book in r20830.

No good deed goes unpunished. Reopening.

New minor version.

I disagree with reopening a closed ticket for a new version - it makes a mockery of the 'fixes' link in the changelog, and will result in multiple 'fixed at r12345' links from the ticket to the actual change.

In any case, I have no cycles for this.
