CentOS Update for nss_db CESA-2010:0347 centos5 i386. The nss_db packages provide C library extensions allowing Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) databases usage for various purposes instead of flat files by default. It was discovered that nss_db did not specify a path to the directory for the database environment, leading to potential sensitive information exposure
