Vulnerability Insight:
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support
the development of security-enabled client and server applications.

This erratum blacklists a small number of HTTPS certificates by adding
them, flagged as untrusted, to the NSS Builtin Object Token (the
libnssckbi.so library) certificate store. (BZ#689430)

Note: This fix only applies to applications using the NSS Builtin Object
Token. It does not blacklist the certificates for applications that use the
NSS library, but do not use the NSS Builtin Object Token (such as curl).

All NSS users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this
issue. After installing the update, applications using NSS must be
restarted for the changes to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
nss on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.

CVSS Score:
