Don't crash on bad certs.
Here's a patch that fixes the problem.
I think it's appropriate for 6.4z.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
I believe the problem was actually a FF or NSS bug, but it is no longer an issue on RHEL 6.7 because NSS now supports ECC.
I have verified that you can view the certs on PIV test cards 4,5, and 15 as well as shutdown down firefox and restarting without removing the card with no crash.
