<summary>Recommended update for mozilla-nss</summary>
<description>This update for mozilla-nss fixes the following issues:
Added various fixes related to FIPS certification:
* Use getrandom() to obtain entropy where possible.
* Make DSA KAT FIPS compliant.
* Use FIPS compliant hash when validating keypair.
* Enforce FIPS requirements on RSA key generation.
* Miscellaneous fixes to CAVS tests.
* Enforce FIPS limits on how much data can be processed without rekeying.
* Run self tests on library initialization in FIPS mode.
* Disable non-compliant algorithms in FIPS mode (hashes and the SEED cipher).
* Clear various temporary variables after use.
* Allow MD5 to be used in TLS PRF.
* Preferentially gather entropy from /dev/random over /dev/urandom.
* Allow enabling FIPS mode consistently with NSS_FIPS environment variable.
* Fix argument parsing bug in lowhashtest.
