We are going to release an intermediate NSS version 3.15.3 that cherry picks a few patches, and stable Mozilla branches should get it.
What's the plan for b2g18?
Reason for this earlier release is: The false start and the OCSP GET feature work might need more time to stabilize, but we'd like to get out a few useful patches earlier.
Attached patch land 3.15.3 beta3 into aurora (deleted) — Splinter Review
I propose to land NSS_3_15_3_BETA3 into mozilla-aurora for testing. (This is waiting for approval to temporarily cleanup in bug 930811, in order to remove local patches.) All patches contained in that snapshot are currently being tested on mozilla-central as part of NSS_3_15_4_BETA1. Brian, can you please give your agreement to this proposal? (This patch was produced by applying the patch from bug 930811 and on top executing: python client.py update_nss NSS_3_15_3_BETA3.)

Kai: half the patch for bug 925100 actually moved into bug 927687. You'd have to ask Wan Teh why, possibly because it was not necessary for the specific security bug but it still looks relevant.
Depends on: CVE-2013-5607

(In reply to Daniel Veditz [:dveditz] from comment #6) > Kai: half the patch for bug 925100 actually moved into bug 927687. Wan-Teh said this patch is optional. Removing the dependency, because it's NSPR. However, if you'd like to pick up the NSPR patch, please refer to bug 935568.
No longer depends on: CVE-2013-5607
things look good, I'll have the patch for other branches ready soon (need to run some errants...)
We need to investigate if bug 936808 is related to landing this NSS update. So far it's a one time crash.
I've checked in an update to set the NSS version to NSS 3.15.3 RTM. https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/rev/7c876e9d50cb I had created the release tag prior to learning about bug 936808. I'm not convinced that bug is caused by this upgrade, it looks like a one time erratic failure. Should it turn out that really another fix is required, we can handle that in a followup.

Shouldn't status-firefox28 be unaffected?
(In reply to Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM UTC-5] from comment #19) > Shouldn't status-firefox28 be unaffected? firefox28 received the fixes using a more recent dev version, 3.15.4 beta
Exactly my point. It seems that "affected" doesn't really fit very well for this bug. I could see any of unaffected, wontfix, or fixed depending on your perspective.
