"This is an update to the set of CA certificates released with NSS
version 3.18

However, the package modifies the CA list to keep several legacy CAs
still trusted for compatibility reasons. Please refer to the project
URL for details.

If you prefer to use the unchanged list provided by Mozilla, and if
you accept any compatibility issues it may cause, an administrator may
configure the system by executing the 'ca-legacy disable' command.

This update corrects the Fedora legacy classification of four root CA
certificates, which had trust added or removed in the upstream 2.1 and
2.2 releases.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
