416202 - 1.8 branch only: Upgrade to NSS_3_11_5_WITH_CKBI_1_65_RTM

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

The recent NSS 3.11.9 release included a new builtins module with an updated list of root certs.

A new NSS tag has been prepared that could be used by Mozilla on the stable 1.8 branch for the next Firefox 2.0.0.x release.

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

I've completed a local test build of the 1.8 branch plus this patch and it works for me.

Kai (or anyone, really), can we get some detail on what's changed in this new tag and why we're making the change?

Comment 5

[Wan-Teh Chang]

The only change in this new tag is some new root CA certificates.
We'd like to make the new root CAs available in Firefox 2.0.0.x.

Comment 6

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

To be clear:  
Mozilla Foundation would like the new root CAs to be available in FireFox 2.0.0.x.  The tag cited in comment 0 was created in response to that request.

Comment 7

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Why the NSS_IMPLEMENTS_DATA changes? Is that related to the root changes or just stuff that happened to be in your tree?

Comment 8

[Wan-Teh Chang]

The NSS_IMPLEMENT_DATA changes are the fix for bug 402285.  They are
unrelated to the root changes, but we want to upgrade the entire
mozilla/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtin directory for easy of maintenance.

The NSS_IMPLEMENT_DATA changes are simpler than they look.  Most of
the changes are line reordering caused by grouping variable declarations
by their types.
