Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2504-1
February 19, 2015

nss update
============================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

NSS was updated to refresh the CA certificates bundle.

Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

The NSS package contained outdated CA certificates. This update refreshes
the NSS package to version 3.17.4 which includes the latest CA certificate
bundle.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
libnss3 2:3.17.4-0ubuntu0.14.10.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libnss3 2:3.17.4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libnss3 3.17.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libnss3-1d 3.17.4-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to make all the necessary
changes.
