Based on the latest upstream comment, I am marking this one as invalid as well. If you disagree with the assessment, please, set this back to new and state why you believe this is indeed a bug in the Ubuntu package.
** Changed in: nss (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to nss in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960736 Title: Libnss3 doesn't log SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PKCS11_ERROR properly ( NSS error code: -8018 ) Status in NSS: Invalid Status in nss package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I've got the issue with Google Chrome not recognizing any of SSL/TSL certificates as trusted. When I look into certificate checksums it's renders all bytes of it as NULL bytes. I'm aware Google Chrome is proprietary but it depends on ubuntu provided libnss3-package. And libnss provides very nigmatic error code -8018: `/opt/google/chrome$ google-chrome [23391:23426:0213/133531.202486:ERROR:nss_util.cc(286)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018 [23434:23434:0213/133531.266711:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(377)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process. [23391:23427:0213/133531.313065:ERROR:cert_verify_proc_builtin.cc(681)] CertVerifyProcBuiltin for accounts.google.com failed: ----- Certificate i=3 (CN=GlobalSign Root CA,OU=Root CA,O=GlobalSign nv-sa,C=BE) ----- ERROR: No matching issuer found ' When trying to enter this particular error code into search engine nothing is found. So my suggestion with this bug is to make it more transparent by providing information to what happened - it seems other bug codes has better error messages. To get SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PKCS11_ERROR string I was force to download source code and manually calculate offsets. Another issue is if failing to initialize PKCS11 token should make whole SSL/TLS crypto invalid ? I'm not sure if this is libnss or Google Chrome issue but it behaves differently in Chromium browser with same libnss so I assume either of two is doing better - it's worth to review this from security perspective.
