Mozilla NSPR was updated to version 4.12, fixing following bugs :

Added a PR_GetEnvSecure function, which attempts to detect if the program is being executed with elevated privileges, and returns NULL if detected. It is recommended to use this function in general purpose library code.

Fixed a memory allocation bug related to the PR_*printf functions

Exported API PR_DuplicateEnvironment, which had already been added in NSPR 4.10.9

Several minor correctness and compatibility fixes.

Mozilla NSS was updated to fix security issues :

MFSA 2016-15/CVE-2016-1978: Use-after-free in NSS during SSL connections in low memory

MFSA 2016-35/CVE-2016-1950: Buffer overflow during ASN.1 decoding in NSS

MFSA 2016-36/CVE-2016-1979: Use-after-free during processing of DER encoded keys in NSS.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
