We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled padding when checking PKCS#1
 certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform
 Bleichenbacher-like attacks and recover private data. This issue only
 affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-4421)

 It was discovered that NSS had a timing side-channel when performing RSA
 decryption. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to recover
 private data. (CVE-2023-5388)

 It was discovered that NSS had a timing side-channel when using certain
 NIST curves. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to recover
 private data. (CVE-2023-6135)

 The NSS package contained outdated CA certificates. This update refreshes
 the NSS package to version 3.98 which includes the latest CA certificate
 bundle and other security improvements.");

  script_tag(name:"affected", value:"'nss' package(s) on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04.");

  script_tag(name:"solution", value:"Please install the updated package(s).");

  script_tag(name:"solution_type", value:"VendorFix");
