No explicit security info in the release notes (which are still a
draft). That is the reason I did not tag as high priority, but will
modify later, even after ticket is closed (if I remember), if the final
upstream page includes any vulnerability being fixed.

Introduction
The NSS team has released Network Security Services (NSS) 3.21, which is
a minor release.
Distribution Information
The HG tag is NSS_3_21_RTM. NSS 3.21 requires NSPR 4.10.10 or newer.
New in NSS 3.21
New Functionality
• certutil now supports a --rename option to change a nickname (bug
1142209)
• TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627) is supported (bug
1117022)
• New info functions added for use during mid-handshake callbacks
(bug 1084669)
New Functions
• in nss.h
◦ NSS_OptionSet - sets NSS global options
◦ NSS_OptionGet - gets the current value of NSS global options
• in secmod.h
◦ SECMOD_CreateModuleEx - Create a new SECMODModule structure
from module name string, module parameters string, NSS
specific parameters string, and NSS configuration parameter
string. The module represented by the module structure is not
loaded. The difference with SECMOD_CreateModule is the new
function handles NSS configuration parameter strings.
• in ssl.h
◦ SSL_GetPreliminaryChannelInfo - obtains information about a
TLS channel prior to the handshake being completed, for use
with the callbacks that are invoked during the handshake
◦ SSL_SignaturePrefSet - configures the enabled signature and
hash algorithms for TLS
◦ SSL_SignaturePrefGet - retrieves the currently configured
signature and hash algorithms
◦ SSL_SignatureMaxCount - obtains the maximum number signature
algorithms that can be configured with SSL_SignaturePrefSet
• in utilpars.h
◦ NSSUTIL_ArgParseModuleSpecEx - takes a module spec and breaks
it into shared library string, module name string, module
parameters string, NSS specific parameters string, and NSS
configuration parameter strings. The returned strings must be
freed by the caller. The difference with
NSS_ArgParseModuleSpec is the new function handles NSS
configuration parameter strings.
◦ NSSUTIL_MkModuleSpecEx - take a shared library string, module
name string, module parameters string, NSS specific parameters
string, and NSS configuration parameter string and returns a
module string which the caller must free when it is done. The
difference with NSS_MkModuleSpec is the new function handles
NSS configuration parameter strings.
New Types
• in pkcs11t.h
◦ CK_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or
pointer} for CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE
◦ CK_TLS12_KEY_MAT_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE
◦ CK_TLS_KDF_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
CKM_TLS_KDF
◦ CK_TLS_MAC_PARAMS{_PTR} - parameters {or pointer} for
CKM_TLS_MAC
• in sslt.h
◦ SSLHashType - identifies a hash function
◦ SSLSignatureAndHashAlg - identifies a signature and hash
function
◦ SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo - provides information about the
session state prior to handshake completion
New Macros
• in nss.h
◦ NSS_RSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum RSA key size
◦ NSS_DH_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum DH key size
◦ NSS_DSA_MIN_KEY_SIZE - used with NSS_OptionSet and
NSS_OptionGet to set or get the minimum DSA key size
• in pkcs11t.h
◦ CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE - derives TLS 1.2 master secret
◦ CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE - derives TLS 1.2 traffic key and
IV
◦ CKM_TLS12_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_DH - derives TLS 1.2 master secret
for DH (and ECDH) cipher suites
◦ CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE - ??? unused
◦ CKM_TLS_MAC - computes TLS Finished MAC
◦ CKM_TLS_KDF - ??? unused
• in secoidt.h
◦ NSS_USE_ALG_IN_SSL_KX - policy flag indicating that keys are
used in TLS key exchange
• in sslerr.h
◦ SSL_ERROR_RX_SHORT_DTLS_READ - error code for failure to
include a complete DTLS record in a UDP packet
◦ SSL_ERROR_NO_SUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM - error code for
when no valid signature and hash algorithm is available
◦ SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM - error code for
when an unsupported signature and hash algorithm is configured
◦ SSL_ERROR_MISSING_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - error code for when
the extended master secret is missing after having been
negotiated
◦ SSL_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - error code for
receiving an extended master secret when previously not
negotiated
• in sslt.h
◦ SSL_ENABLE_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET - configuration to enable
the TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627)
◦ ssl_preinfo_version - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo to
indicate that a TLS version has been selected
◦ ssl_preinfo_cipher_suite - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo
to indicate that a TLS cipher suite has been selected
◦ ssl_preinfo_all - used with SSLPreliminaryChannelInfo to
indicate that all preliminary information has been set

Bugs fixed in NSS 3.21

Compatibility
NSS 3.21 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x
shared libraries. A program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries
will work with NSS 3.21 shared libraries without recompiling or
relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible
with future versions of the NSS shared libraries.
