   openSUSE Security Update: cipher upgrade and SNI support for apache2-mod_nss
______________________________________________________________________________

Announcement ID:    openSUSE-SU-2014:0987-1
Rating:             moderate
References:         #859439 #863518 #878681 
Affected Products:
                    openSUSE 11.4
______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that contains security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

   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).
