    Package        : nss
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-6766 CVE-2026-6767 CVE-2026-6772

    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 the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2:3.110-1+deb13u2.

    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
