The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
mod_nss (1.0.14).

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way mod_nss parsed certain OpenSSL-style cipher
strings. As a result, mod_nss could potentially use ciphers that were not
intended to be enabled. (CVE-2016-3099)

This issue was discovered by Rob Crittenden (Red Hat).
