mozilla-nss was updated to NSS 3.25. New functionality :

 - Implemented DHE key agreement for TLS 1.3

 - Added support for ChaCha with TLS 1.3

 - Added support for TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use SHA384 as the PRF

 - In previous versions, when using client authentication with TLS 1.2, NSS only supported certificate_verify messages that used the same signature hash algorithm as used by the PRF. This limitation has been removed.

 - Several functions have been added to the public API of the NSS Cryptoki Framework. New functions :

 - NSSCKFWSlot_GetSlotID

 - NSSCKFWSession_GetFWSlot

 - NSSCKFWInstance_DestroySessionHandle

 - NSSCKFWInstance_FindSessionHandle Notable changes :

 - An SSL socket can no longer be configured to allow both TLS 1.3 and SSLv3

 - Regression fix: NSS no longer reports a failure if an application attempts to disable the SSLv2 protocol.

 - The list of trusted CA certificates has been updated to version 2.8

 - The following CA certificate was Removed Sonera Class1 CA

 - The following CA certificates were Added Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015 Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015 Certplus Root CA G1 Certplus Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root CA G1 OpenTrust Root CA G2 OpenTrust Root CA G3
