If you maintain the NSS package in an OS distribution, please read this
announcement.

NSS 3.13.2 has a regression when we removed the support for Netscape
international step-up certificates.  The bug report for this regression
is NSS bug 737802 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737802).

This bug affects the CERT_PKIXVerifyCert function, which is based on
libpkix.  The "classic" NSS certificate verification functions, such
as CERT_VerifyCert and CERT_VerifyCertificate, are not affected unless
they have been configured to use libpkix internally by using either the
NSS_ENABLE_PKIX_VERIFY environment variable or the
CERT_SetUsePKIXForValidation function.

I will make an NSS 3.13.4 release soon to fix this regression.  In the
meantime, you can apply the patch in NSS bug 737802 to the NSS source
tree.  The URL for the patch is
https://bug737802.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=608587

Thanks to Rob Stradling of Comodo for reporting the bug and providing a
patch.
