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.

We will update RHEL 7.x to NSS 3.28, which is incompatible with Mozilla 50 and older versions, depending on which features are enabled in NSS RHEL.

For RHEL 7.4.0, we will update nss-softokn, so it's certain that this issue affects all Mozilla applications, which are kept at versions at Mozilla 50 or older.

On 7.3.z and older, we'll most like keep the older nss-softokn version, so this might be a non-issue

I recommend that you pick up a small patch in Thunderbird, and other applications such as xulrunner (if we're using any such applications in RHEL), to prevent potentially issues.

The issue is not so much 3.28 as the X25519 that this version adds, and since the implementation of x25519 is in softokn, that is incompatibility with nss-softokn 3.28 package

This does not apply anymore.
