  - requires NSS 3.25

  - Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2 :

  - Mitigate a startup crash issue caused on Windows     (bmo#1291738)

    mozilla-nss was updated to NSS 3.25. New functionality :

  - Implemented DHE key agreement for TLS 1.3

  - Added support for ChaCha with TLS 1.3

  - Added support for TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use SHA384     as the PRF

  - In previous versions, when using client authentication     with TLS 1.2, NSS only supported certificate_verify     messages that used the same signature hash algorithm as     used by the PRF. This limitation has been removed.

  - Several functions have been added to the public API of     the NSS Cryptoki Framework. New functions :

  - NSSCKFWSlot_GetSlotID

  - NSSCKFWSession_GetFWSlot

  - NSSCKFWInstance_DestroySessionHandle

  - NSSCKFWInstance_FindSessionHandle Notable changes :

  - An SSL socket can no longer be configured to allow both     TLS 1.3 and SSLv3

  - Regression fix: NSS no longer reports a failure if an     application attempts to disable the SSLv2 protocol.

  - The list of trusted CA certificates has been updated to     version 2.8

  - The following CA certificate was Removed Sonera Class1     CA

  - The following CA certificates were Added Hellenic     Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015 Hellenic     Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015     Certplus Root CA G1 Certplus Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root     CA G1 OpenTrust Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root CA G3

  - requires NSS 3.25

  - Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2 :

  - Mitigate a startup crash issue caused on Windows     (bmo#1291738)

mozilla-nss was updated to NSS 3.25. New functionality :

  - Implemented DHE key agreement for TLS 1.3

  - Added support for ChaCha with TLS 1.3

  - Added support for TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use SHA384     as the PRF

  - In previous versions, when using client authentication     with TLS 1.2, NSS only supported certificate_verify     messages that used the same signature hash algorithm as     used by the PRF. This limitation has been removed.

  - Several functions have been added to the public API of     the NSS Cryptoki Framework. New functions :

  - NSSCKFWSlot_GetSlotID

  - NSSCKFWSession_GetFWSlot

  - NSSCKFWInstance_DestroySessionHandle

  - NSSCKFWInstance_FindSessionHandle Notable changes :

  - An SSL socket can no longer be configured to allow both     TLS 1.3 and SSLv3

  - Regression fix: NSS no longer reports a failure if an     application attempts to disable the SSLv2 protocol.

  - The list of trusted CA certificates has been updated to     version 2.8

  - The following CA certificate was Removed Sonera Class1     CA

  - The following CA certificates were Added Hellenic     Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015 Hellenic     Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015     Certplus Root CA G1 Certplus Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root     CA G1 OpenTrust Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root CA G3
