Fixed In Version: nss-3.13.1-4.el5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
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

Comment 4 Jeff Needle 2012-02-28 18:12:54 UTC 
Comment #2 was related to a build of qpid-cpp that had a fix.  We have since deferred that fix and will instead wait for an updated nss.
