NSS 3.68.2 (ESR) Release

[Benjamin Beurdouche]

Dear all,

Network Security Services (NSS) 3.68.2 was released on 15 December 2021.

The HG tag is NSS_3_68_2_RTM. This version of NSS requires NSPR 4.32 or newer.

NSS 3.68.2 source distributions are available on ftp.mozilla.org for secure HTTPS download: <https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_68_2_RTM/src/>

Change:

   - Bug 966856 - Add SHA-2 support to mozilla::pkix's OCSP implementation

NSS 3.68.2 shared libraries are backwards-compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with this new version of the 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.

Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>

Release notes will be available at <https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/index.html> though you should expect a small delay.

Best,

Benjamin
