Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for apache2-mod_nss fixes the following issues :

Due to the update of mozilla-nss apache2-mod_nss needs to be updated to change to the SQLite certificate database, which is now the default (bsc#1108771). Because of that this update is tagged as security, to reach customers that only install secuirty updates.

Other changes contained :

Require minimal NSS version of 3.25 because of SSLv2 changes (bsc#993642)

Add support for SHA384 TLS ciphers (bsc#863035)

Remove deprecated NSSSessionCacheTimeout option from mod_nss.conf.in (bsc#998176)

Change ownership of the gencert generated NSS database so apache can read it (bsc#998180)

Use correct configuration path in mod_nss.conf.in (bsc#996282)

Generate dummy certificates if there aren't any in mod_nss.d (bsc#998183)

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.
