openSUSE Security Update : apache2-mod_nss (openSUSE-SU-2014:0979-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 77132

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

apache2-mod_nss is alternative yet not exclusive to mod_nss. This update introduces Server Name Indication support to mod_nss, which was not available previously. In addition to SNI, GCM ciphers have been added to the cipher list of mod_nss. A bug was corrected that prevented the entry of the certificate store passphrase if such a passphrase was set. Please note that the configuration presets were slightly changed so that the new ciphers are preferred (NSSCipherSuite directive), and the VirtualHost directive is now contained in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-nss.templace (not used by apache because not named *.conf).

Solution

Update the affected apache2-mod_nss packages.
