Elio Maldonado Batiz 2012-09-25 16:44:05 UTC Doc Text Cause: Some packages call nss without initializing as mandated by the API and nss did not protect itself against such improper usage.

Consequence: This caused crashes on shutdown as some variables haven't been properly initialized. Such crashes were reported in the messaging daemon (qpidd) included in Red Hat Enterprise MRG after a recent update to nss. This occurred as qpidd made nss calls before initializing nss.

Fix: Wit this fix nss now protects itself against potential improper use by client code.

Result: With this update nss prevents qpidd, and other affected processes that may call nss without initializing as mandated by the API, from crashing
