   An update that contains security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for apache2-mod_nss fixes the following issues:

   Due to the update of mozilla-nss apache2-mod_nss needs to be updated to
   change to the SQLite certificate database, which is now the default
   (bsc#1108771). Because of that this update is tagged as security, to reach
   customers that only install secuirty updates.

   Other changes contained:

   - Require minimal NSS version of 3.25 because of SSLv2 changes (bsc#993642)
   - Add support for SHA384 TLS ciphers (bsc#863035)
   - Remove deprecated NSSSessionCacheTimeout option from mod_nss.conf.in
     (bsc#998176)
   - Change ownership of the gencert generated NSS database so apache can
     read it (bsc#998180)
   - Use correct configuration path in mod_nss.conf.in (bsc#996282)
   - Generate dummy certificates if there aren't any in mod_nss.d (bsc#998183)
