operating system facilities. These facilities include threads, thread
synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing, calendar
time, basic memory management (malloc and free), and shared library linking.
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support
the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server

and other security standards.
These updated packages upgrade NSS from the previous version, 3.12.2, to a
