The following issues affect performance: new format for storing private keys, certificates and certificate trust If the user home or data directory is on a network file system, it is recommended that users set the following environment variable to avoid slowdowns:

This update for mozilla-nss to version 3.36.4 fixes the follwing issues Connecting to a server that was recently upgraded to TLS 1.3 would result in a SSL_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO error.

Fix a rare bug with PKCS#12 files.

Replaces existing vectorized ChaCha20 code with verified HACL* implementation.

TLS 1.3 support has been updated to draft -23.

Added formally verified implementations of non-vectorized Chacha20 and non-vectorized Poly1305 64-bit.

TLS servers are able to handle a ClientHello statelessly, if the client supports TLS 1.3. If the server sends a HelloRetryRequest, it is possible to discard the server socket, and make a new socket to handle any subsequent ClientHello. This better enables stateless server operation. (This feature is added in support of QUIC, but it also has utility for DTLS 1.3 servers.)

Due to the update of mozilla-nss apache2-mod_nss needs to be updated to change to the SQLite certificate database, which is now the default (bsc#1108771)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
