   Security Advisories

   The following security-relevant bugs have been resolved in NSS 3.15.4.
   Users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.

   Bug 919877 - (CVE-2013-1740) When false start is enabled, libssl will
   sometimes return unencrypted, unauthenticated data from PR_Recv

   New in NSS 3.15.4
   New Functionality
       Implemented OCSP querying using the HTTP GET method, which is the new 
default, and will fall back to the HTTP POST method.
       Implemented OCSP server functionality for testing purposes (httpserv 
utility).
       Support SHA-1 signatures with TLS 1.2 client authentication.
       Added the --empty-password command-line option to certutil, to be used 
with -N: use an empty password when creating a new database.
       Added the -w command-line option to pp: don't wrap long output lines.

   New Functions
       CERT_ForcePostMethodForOCSP
       CERT_GetSubjectNameDigest
       CERT_GetSubjectPublicKeyDigest
       SSL_PeerCertificateChain
       SSL_RecommendedCanFalseStart
       SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback

   New Types
       CERT_REV_M_FORCE_POST_METHOD_FOR_OCSP: When this flag is used, libpkix 
will never attempt to use the HTTP GET method for OCSP requests; it will always 
use POST.

   New PKCS #11 Mechanisms
   None.

   Notable Changes in NSS 3.15.4

       Reordered the cipher suites offered in SSL/TLS client hello messages to 
match modern best practices.
       Updated the set of root CA certificates (version 1.96).
       Improved SSL/TLS false start. In addition to enabling the 
SSL_ENABLE_FALSE_START option, an application must now register a callback 
using the SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback function.
       When building on Windows, OS_TARGET now defaults to WIN95. To use the 
WINNT build configuration, specify OS_TARGET=WINNT.

   Compatibility
   NSS 3.15.4 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 3.15.4 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.
