+NSS 3.27.2 Release Notes
+========================
+
+`Introduction <#introduction>`__
+--------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Network Security Services (NSS) 3.27.2 is a patch release for NSS 3.27.
+
+.. _distribution_information:
+
+`Distribution Information <#distribution_information>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The HG tag is NSS_3_27_2_RTM. NSS 3.27.2 requires NSPR 4.13 or newer.
+
+ NSS 3.27.2 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_27_2_RTM/src/ <https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_27_1_RTM/src/>`__
+
+.. _new_in_nss_3.27.2:
+
+`New in NSS 3.27.2 <#new_in_nss_3.27.2>`__
+------------------------------------------
+
+.. _new_functionality:
+
+`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ No new functionality is introduced in this release. This is a patch release to address a memory
+ leak in the ``SSL_SetTrustAnchors()`` function.
+
+.. _notable_changes_in_nss_3.27.2:
+
+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.27.2 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.27.2>`__
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The ``SSL_SetTrustAnchors()`` function is used to set the distinguished names that an NSS server
+ includes in its TLS CertificateRequest message. If this function is not used, NSS will include
+ the distinguished names for all trust anchors installed in the database. This can be a lengthy
+ list.
+
+ Previous versions of NSS leaked the memory used to store distinguished names when
+ ``SSL_SetTrustAnchors()`` was used. This release fixes that error.
+
+.. _bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.27.2:
+
+`Bugs fixed in NSS 3.27.2 <#bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.27.2>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - The following bug has been fixed in NSS 3.27.2: `Bug 1318561 - SSL_SetTrustAnchors
+ leaks <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318561>`__
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.27.2 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
+ program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.27.2 shared libraries
+ without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
+ to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of
+ the NSS shared libraries.
+
+`Feedback <#feedback>`__
+------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with
+ `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS). \ No newline at end of file
