The recent update (2014-09-26) for NSS - presumably to mitigate the shellshocked bug discovery - causes HTTPD to crash after the update is applied.<br />
<br />
service httpd status shows:<br />
<br />
httpd dead but subsys locked<br />
<br />
I also found that apache didnt die instantly, and until it was dead, php-curl was broken. Any curl call was throwing a generic error about bad CA paths.<br />
<br />
CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77)<br />
Problem with reading the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) <br />
<br />
I was able to fix this by executing a simple apache restart, however for users who have automatic updates (sometimes a custom script) wouldn't have rebooted - and then apache is broken.
