FESCo met today to address the NSS BEAST patch that left all software using NSS 
vulnerable to the BEAST[0] vulnerability.  The decision was made to implement 
the patch that fixes this vulnerablity in F19 and F20.  There are some programs 
that may have difficulties with this fix.  While the fix will go in as soon as 
possible the change in F19 will not be applied until some testing has been 
completed.

Information on this fix is in Bugzilla[1].  If your package depends on NSS you 
should definitely test this patch before it goes live in order to determine if 
it breaks functionality (information on the BZ ticket on how to disable the fix 
if needed).
