    Package        : nss
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-16389

    Tomoya Nakanishi discovered a flaw in nss, the Mozilla Network Security
    Service library, which may result in execution of arbitrary code if a
    specially crafted certificate is processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2:3.110-1+deb13u4.

    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

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
