have been added.

Introduction

The NSS team has released Network Security Services (NSS) 3.21, which is
a minor release.

Distribution Information

The HG tag is NSS_3_21_RTM. NSS 3.21 requires NSPR 4.10.10 or newer.

Security Fixes in NSS 3.21

   • Bug 1158489 / CVE-2015-7575 - Prevent MD5 Downgrade in TLS 1.2
     Signatures.

New in NSS 3.21

New Functionality

   • certutil now supports a --rename option to change a nickname (bug
     1142209)
   • TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627) is supported (bug
     1117022)
   • New info functions added for use during mid-handshake callbacks
     (bug 1084669)

New Functions

   • in nss.h
        ◦ NSS_OptionSet - sets NSS global options
        ◦ NSS_OptionGet - gets the current value of NSS global options
   • in secmod.h
        ◦ SECMOD_CreateModuleEx - Create a new SECMODModule structure
          from module name string, module parameters string, NSS
          specific parameters string, and NSS configuration parameter
          string. The module represented by the module structure is not
          loaded. The difference with SECMOD_CreateModule is the new
          function handles NSS configuration parameter strings.
   • in ssl.h
        ◦ SSL_GetPreliminaryChannelInfo - obtains information about a
          TLS channel prior to the handshake being completed, for use
          with the callbacks that are invoked during the handshake
        ◦ SSL_SignaturePrefSet - configures the enabled signature and
          hash algorithms for TLS
        ◦ SSL_SignaturePrefGet - retrieves the currently configured
          signature and hash algorithms
        ◦ SSL_SignatureMaxCount - obtains the maximum number signature
          algorithms that can be configured with SSL_SignaturePrefSet
   • in utilpars.h
        ◦ NSSUTIL_ArgParseModuleSpecEx - takes a module spec and breaks
          it into shared library string, module name string, module
          parameters string, NSS specific parameters string, and NSS
          configuration parameter strings. The returned strings must be
          freed by the caller. The difference with
          NSS_ArgParseModuleSpec is the new function handles NSS
          configuration parameter strings.
        ◦ NSSUTIL_MkModuleSpecEx - take a shared library string, module
          name string, module parameters string, NSS specific parameters
          string, and NSS configuration parameter string and returns a
          module string which the caller must free when it is done. The
          difference with NSS_MkModuleSpec is the new function handles
          NSS configuration parameter strings.

New Types

   • in pkcs11t.h
        ◦ CK_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or
          pointer} for CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE
        ◦ CK_TLS12_KEY_MAT_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
          CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE
        ◦ CK_TLS_KDF_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
          CKM_TLS_KDF
        ◦ CK_TLS_MAC_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
          CKM_TLS_MAC
   • in sslt.h
        ◦ SSLHashType - identifies a hash function
        ◦ SSLSignatureAndHashAlg - identifies a signature and hash
          function
        ◦ SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo - provides information about the
          session state prior to handshake completion

New Macros

   • in nss.h
        ◦ NSS_RSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
          NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum RSA key size
        ◦ NSS_DH_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
          NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum DH key size
        ◦ NSS_DSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
          NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum DSA key size
   • in pkcs11t.h
        ◦ CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE - derives TLS 1.2 master secret
        ◦ CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE - derives TLS 1.2 traffic key and
          IV
        ◦ CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_DH - derives TLS 1.2 master secret
          for DH (and ECDH) cipher suites
        ◦ CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE and CKM_TLS_KDF are identifiers for
          additional PKCS#12 mechanisms for TLS 1.2 that are currently
          unused in NSS.
        ◦ CKM_TLS_MAC - computes TLS Finished MAC
   • in secoidt.h
        ◦ NSS_USE_ALG_IN_SSL_KX - policy flag indicating that keys are
          used in TLS key exchange
   • in sslerr.h
        ◦ SSL_ERROR_RX_SHORT_DTLS_READ - error code for failure to
          include a complete DTLS record in a UDP packet
        ◦ SSL_ERROR_NO_SUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM - error code for
          when no valid signature and hash algorithm is available
        ◦ SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM - error code for
          when an unsupported signature and hash algorithm is configured
        ◦ SSL_ERROR_MISSING_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - error code for when
          the extended master secret is missing after having been
          negotiated
        ◦ SSL_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - error code for
          receiving an extended master secret when previously not
          negotiated
   • in sslt.h
        ◦ SSL_ENABLE_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - configuration to enable
          the TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627)
        ◦ ssl_preinfo_version - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo to
          indicate that a TLS version has been selected
        ◦ ssl_preinfo_cipher_suite - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo
          to indicate that a TLS cipher suite has been selected
        ◦ ssl_preinfo_all - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo to
          indicate that all preliminary information has been set

Compatibility

NSS 3.21 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 3.21 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.
