 Bugzilla query:

 Some notable changes include:

 1. SSL 2.0 is disabled by default.

 2. A defense against the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 CBC chosen plaintext attack
 demonstrated by Rizzo and Duong (CVE-2011-3389) is enabled by default.
 Set the SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV SSL option to PR_FALSE to disable it.

 3. SHA-224 is supported.

 4. Ported to iOS. (Requires NSPR 4.9.)
Hi Wan-Teh,

Thank you for this notice.

I'm more just curious but do we know of any publicly software shipping
for iOS that uses NSS 3.13?

Thank you,

Gen

I don't know of any.  FYI, here is the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680878

Note: the patches showed that for the functionality used
by NSS, iOS is almost the same as Mac OS X.  Other
than build system changes, the only difference is that
the _NSGetEnviron() function is not available.
