+NSS 3.16 release notes
+======================
+
+`Introduction <#introduction>`__
+--------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The NSS team has released Network Security Services (NSS) 3.16, which is a minor release.
+
+.. _distribution_information:
+
+`Distribution Information <#distribution_information>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The HG tag is NSS_3_16_RTM. NSS 3.16 requires NSPR 4.10.3 or newer.
+
+ NSS 3.16 source distributions are available on ftp.mozilla.org for secure HTTPS download:
+
+ - Source tarballs:
+ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_16_RTM/src/
+
+.. _new_in_nss_3.16:
+
+`New in NSS 3.16 <#new_in_nss_3.16>`__
+--------------------------------------
+
+.. _new_functionality:
+
+`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ - Supports the Linux x32 ABI. (This requires NSPR 4.10.4.) To build for the Linux x32 target,
+ set the environment variable USE_X32=1 when building NSS.
+
+ .. rubric:: New Functions
+ :name: new_functions
+
+ - *in cms.h*
+
+ - **NSS_CMSSignerInfo_Verify** - verify the signature of a single SignerInfo. It just
+ verifies the signature, assuming that the certificate has been verified already.
+
+ .. rubric:: New Macros
+ :name: new_macros
+
+ - *in sslproto.h*
+
+ - **TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, etc.** - cipher suites that were
+ first defined in SSL 3.0 can now be referred to with their official IANA names in TLS, with
+ the TLS\_ prefix. Previously, they had to be referred to with their names in SSL 3.0, with
+ the SSL\_ prefix.
+
+.. _notable_changes_in_nss_3.16:
+
+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.16 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.16>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - ECC is enabled by default. It is no longer necessary to set the environment variable
+ NSS_ENABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS. To disable ECC, set the environment variable
+ NSS_DISABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS.
+ - `Bug 903885 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903885>`__: (CVE-2014-1492) In a
+ wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an
+ internationalized domain name. See the last bullet point in `RFC 6125, Section
+ 7.2 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6125#section-7.2>`__.
+ - `Bug 962760 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=962760>`__: libpkix should not
+ include the common name of CA as DNS names when evaluating name constraints.
+ - `Bug 981170 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=981170>`__: AESKeyWrap_Decrypt
+ should not return SECSuccess for invalid keys.
+ - `Bug 974693 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=974693>`__: Fix a memory corruption
+ in sec_pkcs12_new_asafe.
+ - `Bug 956082 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956082>`__: If the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE
+ environment variable is set, skip the runtime test sdb_measureAccess.
+ - The built-in roots module has been updated to version 1.97, which adds, removes, and distrusts
+ several certificates.
+ - The atob utility has been improved to automatically ignore lines of text that aren't in base64
+ format.
+ - The certutil utility has been improved to support creation of version 1 and version 2
+ certificates, in addition to the existing version 3 support.
