The worst thing you could do is assume you are covered. It would close 
one vulnerability in nss not all. Current nss is 3.28 beta and 3.26.2 in 
the next Firefox release. I am quite sure there some few security fixes 
in the latest version too. You best protection is still a script and an 
Ad blocker when browsing the web.


A 2.40.1 can not be released because the l10n part of the build system 
is broken. It it weren't so we would have 2.46 already.


Adrians unofficial builds are ok. You can trust them. And if you run 
en-US there are now candidate builds for every platform available too. 
They are not final but this only means that the build process stopped 
with an error when it came to building the l10n versions. Building en-US 
was mostly finished at this stage.


That said ewong is still busy building and I hope we will see the final 
2.46 soon.

But it would close the vulnerability in nss. If one would release a seamonkey 
let's say 2.40.1 only with the change of nss 3.21.1 the result would be the 
same as i described. I didn't mention any bug in the base product. The whole 
topic was started with nss and not bugs/sec vuln. in seamonkey.

So keeping SM 2.40 official release without replacing the nss is the worst one 
can do at the moment. If you trust an unofficial build (2.46) then install it.

exploited if you are so concerned about security.

Better check if the latest en-US candidate 2.46 test builds works for you or 
use 
Adrians latest 2.46 build. They are both build from the same sources and 
updating 
to the next official build whenever it arrives will be possible just by 
downloading it. Adrians is gtk3 and the candidate gtk2 for Linux users. Windows 
VS2015 but Adrians should be a little faster because he used -O2 for compiling.

If you use a hacked together build do not open bug reports against it.

There will be no 2.40.x builds. The next one will be 2.46 if the l10n build bug 
can be fixed in time.

I understand you.
In detail you must do the following. Copy these files from firefox into 
seamonkey overwriting the existing files (you have *.dll instead of *.so):
libfreebl3.chk
libfreebl3.so
libnspr4.so
libnss3.so
libnssckbi.so
libnssdbm3.chk
libnssdbm3.so
libnssutil3.so
libplc4.so
libplds4.so
libsmime3.so
libsoftokn3.chk
libsoftokn3.so
libssl3.so
I did it on linux, on windows it should be the same, please check it! I hope 
you have chk files too. However i have firefox 45.4.0 (esr) not the 46.

The SM 2.46 builds are being made by Adrian Kalla on a personal
machine and are stable even though not publish on the official Mozilla
site and usual download places. They are build from stable code but
because the build environment has been busted for so long, it's not
working on Mozilla proper. I just updated to the SM 2.47 beta build he
made today and it has NSS 3.26.2. I didn't realize 3.27/3.27.1 went
final until I just looked. So, IMHOO, you have nothing to lose by
trying the stable build Adrian has made. You can always kick the tires
here: http://goo.gl/9R2c0i

Stable, in terms of software, is relative to how many bugs haven't
been found yet.

As for grafting DLLs, back up nss3.dll, nssckbi.dll, nssdbm3.chk,
nssdbm3.dll and mozglue.dll somewhere. Close SM. Copy the NSS DLLs
from Firefox and overwrite the ones in the SM directory. 99% of the
time you won't need mozglue.dll. Start SM. If it complains about
mozglue.dll, close SM and overwrite mozglue.dll. Start SM again. If it
won't start, copy back the backed up DLLs. Hope that helps.

You don't understand.
- I hate to install a not released SM.

do it.
- He said " It should use at least 3.21.1 (that is in latest firefox esr

As a workaround i can copy the nss libraries from firefox esr to
seamonkey until a security release of seamonkey let's say 2.40.1
arrives. I tried this end i can start seamonkey with newer NSS
library because they're compatible.


You can graft the NSS dlls, sure. I have done that in the past with
success. But, there is a build of 2.46 that's stable enough to use if
you want to test.


Just curious... Does the Linux version of SeaMonkey use the nss
package that is included with the Linux distribution being used? The
currently installed version here is 3.23.0-1 (Fedora 24).

Thanks in advance.



Users can enter about:support in the address bar and scroll down to the
Library Versions section of the Troubleshooting Information page to see
what their version of SeaMonkey, Firefox or Thunderbird is using.

If you prefer Help > Troubleshooting Information also gets you there.


Thanks for that tip.

It looks like nss was just updated. That screen shows the Expected 
Minimum Version as 3.25, with 3.27 as the Version in use.

No, seamonkey/firefox/thunderbird look for their .so ONLY in their own 
directory ignoring to search in /usr/lib. That why it is not enough to install 
a separate nss package but one need to place symbolic links into each mozilla 
product.
You can check with strace which .so is loaded on startup of seamonkey. If the 
one from nss lib 3.23.0-1 then you are lucky and don't have to do anything.

I just wanted to point out that we immediately need a seemonkey update.

I tried with firefox's/thunderbirds 3.21.1 and it works. I trust this version 
of nss (at the moment)
