Besided the copy issue, util also creates an issue for libsoftkn3.so and libfreebl.so because the latter or FIPS modules, changes to nss/lib/util technically affect the FIPS validation. Since nss/lib/util does not participate in the management of CPS, it is usually possible to reinstate the validation with a review and letter from the lab. | |||
