    New in NSS 3.18.1

    No new functionality is introduced in this release. This is a patch release to update the list of root CA certificates.

    Notable Changes in NSS 3.18.1

    • The following CA certificate had the Websites and Code Signing trust bits restored to their original state to allow more time to develop a better transition strategy for affected sites. The Websites and Code Signing trust bits were turned off in NSS 3.18. But when Firefox 38 went into Beta, there was a huge spike in the number of certificate verification errors attributed to this change. So, to give website administrators more time to update their web servers, we reverted the trust bits back to being enabled.
      • OU = Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
        • SHA1 Fingerprint: D2:32:09:AD:23:D3:14:23:21:74:E4:0D:7F:9D:62:13:97:86:63:3A
