Hi Florian,

Sorry for the delay, was stuck on investigating CVE-2016-7117.

I grabbed the packages from security-master, installed it on a jessie
workstation and did some quick tests with chromium. I realized that I
do not have any other revelvant packages installed there with
appropraite dependencies though (set apart flashplugin-nonfree, but I
do not know how nss is used there).

So not much of testing-relevance on my side, sorry.

So if you are happy go ahead!

Regards,
Salvatore
