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.

Description Elio Maldonado Batiz 2013-05-06 17:05:18 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #960193 +++

Description of problem:
The nss ECC code from upstream has traditionally beenstripped off to remove ecc and this code  needs to be included from now on. ECC will be supported on RHEL-6.5 and will also be part of the planned FIPS-140 revalidation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
6.5

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
Unpack the upstream source tar ball and the one we use for the build and compare them as follows:
1. Download the upstrem sources from 
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_14_3_RTM/src/nss-3.14.3.tar.gz
2. rhpk clone nss --branch rhel-6.5; cd nss
3. cd nss; rhpkg sources
4. mkdir -p compare/upstream
5. mkdir -p compare/downstream
6. cd upstream; tar xzf ${PATH_TO}/nss-3.14.3.tar.gz
7. cd ../downstream; tar xjf ${PATH_TO}/nss-3.14.3-stripped.tar.bz
  (the embedded "-stripped" in the name is a clue
8. cd ..
9. Use you favorite diffing tool
   meld upstram downstream fora visual display or diff to save a textual file

Actual results:
downtream/nss-3.14.3mozilla/security/nss/freebl 
is missing the ecc related sources
which are present on
upntream/nss-3.14.3/mozilla/security/nss/freebl

Expected results:
downtream's contents is identical upstream's

A similar compare can be done using the nss-softokn package.

Additional info: 
1) This needs fixing on both the nss and nss-softoken packages.
2) This needs fixinf on rhel-5.10 also. We will do a FIPS=140 reval of nss for rhel-6.5 and a vendor affirmation on rhel-5.10 whic requires that the code inside the crypto boundary be the same on 5.10 as it is on 6.5.

limit ecc to suite b and deal with key sizes

freebl / softoken portion of the upstream bug 857882. This is identical to the nss patch already applied for RHEL-5.10

limit the ecc support to suite-b only and deal with key sizes

This is the one I actually applied. The old one this obsoletes had _BITS missing from the macro names.

Yup, this is the one you need.
