Description
In bugfix/use-our-own-sqlite
we have imported libnss3
, libnss3-1d
, libnspr4
, libnspr4-0d
, libsqlite3-0
and sqlite3
backports into our APT repository, as:
- our current browser (24.2.0esr-0+tails3~bpo60+1) depends on these packages;
- these packages were dropped from mozilla.debian.net’s squeeze-backports repository.
This workaround will (hopefully) be useless once we rebase the browser on Iceweasel 24.2.0esr-1.
Dropping these packages will make us install an old, unsafe version of NSS. We should therefore check that Iceweasel does not use the system one:
- xulrunner 24.2.0esr-1 ships
/usr/lib/xulrunner-24.0/libnss3.so
, which the –0 one does not - xulrunner 24.2.0esr-1’s
ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-24.0/libxul.so
says it is linked on the system/usr/lib/libnss3.so
, but it says/usr/lib/xulrunner-24.0/libxul.so: /usr/lib/libsmime3.so: version `NSS_3.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/xulrunner-24.0/libxul.so)
; does this mean it won’t / can’t use the system NSS? - On Tails 0.22,
lsof | grep nss | grep icew
says it has loaded/lib/libnss_{nis,files,compat}
,/usr/lib/libnss3.so
and various libs from/usr/lib/nss/
; while with 24.2.0esr-1, it has loaded/lib/libnss_{nis,files,compat}
and/usr/lib/xulrunner-24.0/libnss*.so
, so we should be safe.
Still, other apps will be using an old, unsafe NSS. Only Pidgin depends on this package. We should probably upload a fixed version to squeeze-backports: Feature #6497.
