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.

Patch

On branch RHEL-6.3, file
  Bug-797426-protect-against-calls-before-nss_init.patch
has a small bug, which might have been introduced when manually editing the patch.

The problem is in the file path header, where it lists old and new file names:

--- mozilla/security/nss/lib/nss/nssinit.c      18 Oct 2011 19:03:31 -0000      1.114
+++ /mozilla/security/nss/lib/nss/nssinit.c      25 Jan 2012 19:54:07 -0000


The problem is the second line, which starts with a slash /

Because of this slash, when trying to apply this patch on a Fedora system, the patch tool reports an error message. In the RHEL environment, the patch probably has been applied fine.


This little detail should be fixed.
The fix will have zero effect on the actual code being used.

Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This patch was applied upstream and is included in the sources. We have rebased to nss-3.14 and the patch is no longer needed and we no longer carry it. The problem has been fixed with the rebase to 3.14.
