openSUSE Security Update: cipher upgrade and SNI support for apache2-mod_nss, bug fixes ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2014:0979-1 Rating: moderate References: #859439 #863518 #878681 Affected Products: openSUSE 13.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that contains security fixes can now be installed. Description: apache2-mod_nss is alternative yet not exclusive to mod_nss. This update introduces Server Name Indication support to mod_nss, which was not available previously. In addition to SNI, GCM ciphers have been added to the cipher list of mod_nss. A bug was corrected that prevented the entry of the certificate store passphrase if such a passphrase was set. Please note that the configuration presets were slightly changed so that the new ciphers are preferred (NSSCipherSuite directive), and the VirtualHost directive is now contained in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-nss.templace (not used by apache because not named *.conf).
