I have updated nss in Rawhide to the upstream tag NSS_3_13_4_BETA1.

The list of bugs fixed on 3.12.4 can be found at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741135

Please see on this list to if there is anything of concern to products you use or maintain.


Some highlists:

The primary driver  for this release is the regression
SSL step-up EKU OID no longer treated as SSL Server type
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737802

Of particulat interest to Openswan is
"CKM_DH_DERIVE does not respect VALUE_LEN if VALUE_LEN is greater than the unpadded generated key"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723740
That provides a real fix to the problems reprted by Openswan. Previous workaround isno longer needed.


Thank you,

Elio
