Title:	CentOS Update for nspr CESA-2011:1282 centos5 i386
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nspr'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nspr' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued fraudulent HTTPS certificates. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted. This covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code signing. (BZ#734316) Note: This fix only applies to applications using the NSS Builtin Object Token. It does not render the certificates untrusted for applications that use the NSS library, but do not use the NSS Builtin Object Token. These updated packages upgrade NSS to version 3.12.10 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. As well, they upgrade NSPR to version 4.8.8 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, as required by the NSS update. The packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 include a backported patch. All NSS and NSPR users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the update, applications using NSS and NSPR must be restarted for the changes to take effect. Affected Software/OS: nspr on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
