  • Bug 1049435: Change RSA_PrivateKeyCheck to not require p > q. This fixes a regression introduced in NSS 3.16.2 that prevented NSS from importing some RSA private keys (such as in PKCS #12 files) generated by other crypto libraries.

Compatibility

NSS 3.16.2.2 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 3.16.2.2 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.
