-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-15785 2012-10-10 04:59:47 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-nss Product : Fedora 18 Version : 0.13 Release : 0.fc18 URL : ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/python-nss Summary : Python bindings for Network Security Services (NSS) Description : This package provides Python bindings for Network Security Services (NSS) and the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR). NSS is a set of libraries supporting security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. Specific NSS implementations have been FIPS-140 certified. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Upgrade to 0.13 release, see Changelog for details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Oct 8 2012 John Dennis <[email protected]> - 0.13-0 - Update to version 0.13 Introduced in 0.13: * Fix NSS SECITEM_CompareItem bug via workaround. * Fix incorrect format strings in PyArg_ParseTuple* for: - GeneralName - BasicConstraints - cert_x509_key_usage * Fix bug when decoding certificate BasicConstraints extension * Fix hang in setup_certs. * For NSS >= 3.13 support CERTDB_TERMINAL_RECORD * You can now query for a specific certificate extension Certficate.get_extension() * The following classes were added: - RSAGenParams * The following class methods were added: - nss.nss.Certificate.get_extension - nss.nss.PK11Slot.generate_key_pair - nss.nss.DSAPublicKey.format - nss.nss.DSAPublicKey.format_lines * The following module functions were added: - nss.nss.pub_wrap_sym_key * The following internal utilities were added: - PyString_UTF8 - SecItem_new_alloc() * The following class constructors were modified to accept intialization parameters - KEYPQGParams (DSA generation parameters) * The PublicKey formatting (i.e. format_lines) was augmented to format DSA keys (formerly it only recognized RSA keys). * Allow lables and values to be justified when printing objects * The following were deprecated: - nss.nss.make_line_pairs (replaced by nss.nss.make_line_fmt_tuples) Deprecated Functionality: ------------------------- - make_line_pairs() has been replaced by make_line_fmt_tuples() because 2-valued tuples were not sufficently general. It is expected very few programs will have used this function, it's mostly used internally but provided as a support utility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update python-nss' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
