Advisory Release Date: 2016-02-09 13:30 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2016-02-09 13:30 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

It was found that the parsing of the NSSCipherSuite option of mod24_nss, which accepts OpenSSL-style cipherstrings, is flawed. If the option is used to disable insecure ciphersuites using the common "!" syntax, it will actually enable those insecure ciphersuites. (CVE-2015-5244)


Affected Packages:

mod24_nss

Run yum update mod24_nss to update your system.
