Updated nss packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications.

Bug Fix

BZ#828679
Due to a missing out-of-memory (OOM) check and improper freeing of allocated memory, the Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) module did not fully validate the encoding of certificates stored in a PEM-formatted file. As a consequence, error handling tests failed. With this update, the PEM module correctly validates the encoding, handles memory deallocation consistently, and error handling tests pass as expected.
All users of nss are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
