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.

Fixed In Version: nss-util-3.14.3-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The pkcs11n.h header did not have the needed constants enumerating the mechanisms needed to support TLS 1.2. Consequence: Without these constants defined NSS would not be able to support TLS 1.2. Fix: Added the needed constants to the header. Result: NSS will now be able to support TLS 1.2.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1558 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE nss and nspr bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-21 00:40:48 UTC

Description Elio Maldonado Batiz 2013-07-24 17:13:14 UTC 
Description of problem: Need to update the pkcs11n.h internal header on nss-util with some new #denies for some mechanisms needed by nss-softoken code.


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


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to compile nss-sftoken with needed GCM fixes

Actual results: Compile fails because the symbols it needed aren't defined.

Expected results: nss-softoken compiles.

Note to QA: This bug can be verified by inspection.
Note to PM: This bug is needed to fix bug 976572, which is needed by FIPS and already approved. The patch only adds 4 #defines to a header file, so there is very little risk of this patch breaking anything.
Comment 6 Alicja Kario 2013-08-28 15:17:23 UTC 
I don't see any obvious way to test it (except trying to use the code and see if it works/doesn't crash, which we already do as part of openswan Suite B test case) so I'm proposing qa_test_coverage-

Of course, I'll do code inspection in this release and check if the patches are present in the package. Elio, Is that OK for you?
Comment 7 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2013-08-28 17:19:09 UTC 
It's the usage of TLS 1.2 mechanisms by higher layers of nss that will allow you to test this change. Bob made sure I included this patch in order to have the crypto module ready to support TLS 1.2 when we updates to nss-3.15.1 with TLS 1.2 support.  Because of the FIPS-140 revalidation we have to keep nss-softokn at 3.14.3 (+selected backports) but the rest NSS will update to nss-3.15.1 and the TLS 1.2 code will use these constants. This change will be tested by the TLS tests.
Comment 8 Alicja Kario 2013-08-29 09:41:17 UTC 
OK, marking as qa_test_coverage-, feature will be tested once we support TLS1.2 specific cipher suites in CLI utilities.
