The remote host is missing an update for the 'nss' package(s) announced via the USN-6727-1 advisory. It was discovered that NSS mishandles padding when checking PKCS#1 certificates, has a timing side-channel when performing RSA decryption, and has a timing side-channel when using certain NIST curves. The package also contained outdated CA certificates, which has been refreshed to version 3.98, including the latest CA certificate bundle and other security improvements
