    Debian Bug     :

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in NSS, a set of cryptographic
    libraries, which may result in or denial of service or potentially the
    execution of arbitrary code.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2:3.61-1+deb11u6.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    2:3.87.1-1+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.

    For the detailed security status of nss please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/nss
