RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This rebase is a problem for the RHEL7 in-place upgrade!

el6: nss-3.16.1-2.el6_5
el7: nss-3.15.4-7.el7_0

RHEL6 has a newer version than RHEL7...

Yes, that's a problem. Mozilla made their decision regarding a CVE so late that we were forced to just backport a fix rather than rebase as there wasn't enough time for various QE teams to test their products that depend on nss. It was decided to pospone the nss rebase to a subsequent async update which would give sufficient time for comprehensive testing. I posted comments at  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1112136#c11.

Wrong URL, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103252#c3 and subequent.
Comment 14 Ondrej Vasik 2014-07-25 07:43:33 UTC 
We should document this issue in the KB about in-place upgrades - and recommend downgrade of this specific nss package(s) just before running in-place upgrade. We can deal with package downgrades, but only via preupgrade-assistant-contents - and they contain static lists valid at the time of the package build (unfortunately, we don't have other option, as in preupgrade-assistant we don't operate with RHEL7 repos). This causes issues with z-stream updates.
