"USN-1763-1 fixed a vulnerability in NSS. This update provides the NSPR
needed to use the new NSS.

Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson discovered that the TLS protocol as
used in NSS was vulnerable to a timing side-channel attack known as
the 'Lucky Thirteen' issue. A remote attacker could use this issue to
perform plaintext-recovery attacks via analysis of timing data.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
