Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod24_nss package and not the mod24_nss package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.

The NSSCipherSuite option with ciphersuites enabled in mod_nss before 1.0.12 allows remote attackers to bypass application restrictions.
