Changelog:
From: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS/NSS_3.15.5_release_notes
Network Security Services (NSS) 3.15.5 is a patch release for NSS 3.15.
New functionality:
* Added support for the TLS application layer protocol negotiation
(ALPN) extension. Two SSL socket options, SSL_ENABLE_NPN and
SSL_ENABLE_ALPN, can be used to control whether NPN or ALPN (or both)
should be used for application layer protocol negotiation.
* Added the TLS padding extension. The extension type value is 35655,
which may change when an official extension type value is assigned
by IANA. NSS automatically adds the padding extension to ClientHello
when necessary.
* Added a new macro CERT_LIST_TAIL, defined in certt.h, for getting
the tail of a CERTCertList.
Notable Changes:
* Bug 950129: Improve the OCSP fetching policy when verifying OCSP
responses
* Bug 949060: Validate the iov input argument (an array of PRIOVec
structures) of ssl_WriteV (called via PR_Writev). Applications should
still take care when converting struct iov to PRIOVec because the
iov_len members of the two structures have different types
(size_t vs. int). size_t is unsigned and may be larger than int.

Security Advisories
The following security-relevant bugs have been resolved in NSS 3.15.4.
Users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.

sometimes return unencrypted, unauthenticated data from PR_Recv
New in NSS 3.15.4
New Functionality
Implemented OCSP querying using the HTTP GET method, which is the new default, and will fall back to the HTTP POST method.
Implemented OCSP server functionality for testing purposes (httpserv utility).
Support SHA-1 signatures with TLS 1.2 client authentication.
Added the --empty-password command-line option to certutil, to be used with -N: use an empty password when creating a new database.
Added the -w command-line option to pp: don't wrap long output lines.
New Functions

CERT_GetSubjectNameDigest
CERT_GetSubjectPublicKeyDigest
SSL_PeerCertificateChain
SSL_RecommendedCanFalseStart
SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback
New Types
CERT_REV_M_FORCE_POST_METHOD_FOR_OCSP: When this flag is used, libpkix will never attempt to use the HTTP GET method for OCSP requests; it will always use POST.
New PKCS #11 Mechanisms
None.
Notable Changes in NSS 3.15.4
Reordered the cipher suites offered in SSL/TLS client hello messages to match modern best practices.
Updated the set of root CA certificates (version 1.96).
Improved SSL/TLS false start. In addition to enabling the SSL_ENABLE_FALSE_START option, an application must now register a callback using the SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback function.
When building on Windows, OS_TARGET now defaults to WIN95. To use the WINNT build configuration, specify OS_TARGET=WINNT.

NSS 3.15 release notes
Introduction
The NSS team has released Network Security Services (NSS) 3.15, which is a minor release.
Distribution Information
The HG tag is NSS_3_15_RTM. NSS 3.15 requires NSPR 4.10 or newer.
NSS 3.15 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_15_RTM/src/
New in NSS 3.15
New Functionality
Support for OCSP Stapling (RFC 6066, Certificate Status Request) has been added for both client and server sockets. TLS client applications may enable this via a call to SSL_OptionSetDefault(SSL_ENABLE_OCSP_STAPLING, PR_TRUE);
Added function SECITEM_ReallocItemV2. It replaces function SECITEM_ReallocItem, which is now declared as obsolete.
Support for single-operation (eg: not multi-part) symmetric key encryption and decryption, via PK11_Encrypt and PK11_Decrypt.
certutil has been updated to support creating name constraints extensions.
New Functions
in ssl.h
SSL_PeerStapledOCSPResponse - Returns the server's stapled OCSP response, when used with a TLS client socket that negotiated the status_request extension.
SSL_SetStapledOCSPResponses - Set's a stapled OCSP response for a TLS server socket to return when clients send the status_request extension.
in ocsp.h
CERT_PostOCSPRequest - Primarily intended for testing, permits the sending and receiving of raw OCSP request/responses.
in secpkcs7.h
SEC_PKCS7VerifyDetachedSignatureAtTime - Verifies a PKCS#7 signature at a specific time other than the present time.
in xconst.h
CERT_EncodeNameConstraintsExtension - Matching function for CERT_DecodeNameConstraintsExtension, added in NSS 3.10.
in secitem.h
SECITEM_AllocArray
SECITEM_DupArray
SECITEM_FreeArray
SECITEM_ZfreeArray - Utility functions to handle the allocation and deallocation of SECItemArrays
SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 - Replaces SECITEM_ReallocItem, which is now obsolete. SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 better matches caller expectations, in that it updates item->len on allocation. For more details of the issues with SECITEM_ReallocItem, see Bug 298649 and Bug 298938.
in pk11pub.h
PK11_Decrypt - Performs decryption as a single PKCS#11 operation (eg: not multi-part). This is necessary for AES-GCM.
PK11_Encrypt - Performs encryption as a single PKCS#11 operation (eg: not multi-part). This is necessary for AES-GCM.
New Types
in secitem.h
SECItemArray - Represents a variable-length array of SECItems.
New Macros
in ssl.h
SSL_ENABLE_OCSP_STAPLING - Used with SSL_OptionSet to configure TLS client sockets to request the certificate_status extension (eg: OCSP stapling) when set to PR_TRUE
Notable Changes in NSS 3.15
SECITEM_ReallocItem is now deprecated. Please consider using SECITEM_ReallocItemV2 in all future code.
NSS has migrated from CVS to the Mercurial source control management system.
Updated build instructions are available at Migration to HG
As part of this migration, the source code directory layout has been re-organized.
The list of root CA certificates in the nssckbi module has been updated.
The default implementation of SSL_AuthCertificate has been updated to add certificate status responses stapled by the TLS server to the OCSP cache.
Applications that use SSL_AuthCertificateHook to override the default handler should add appropriate calls to SSL_PeerStapledOCSPResponse and CERT_CacheOCSPResponseFromSideChannel.
Bug 554369: Fixed correctness of CERT_CacheOCSPResponseFromSideChannel and other OCSP caching behaviour.
Bug 853285: Fixed bugs in AES GCM.
Bug 341127: Fix the invalid read in rc4_wordconv.
Faster NIST curve P-256 implementation.
Dropped (32-bit) SPARC V8 processor support on Solaris. The shared library libfreebl_32int_3.so is no longer produced.
