TLS servers are able to handle a ClientHello statelessly, if the client supports TLS 1.3. If the server sends a HelloRetryRequest, it is possible to discard the server socket, and make a new socket to handle any subsequent ClientHello. This better enables stateless server operation. (This feature is added in support of QUIC, but it also has utility for DTLS 1.3 servers.)

Due to the update of mozilla-nss apache2-mod_nss needs to be updated to change to the SQLite certificate database, which is now the default (bsc#1108771)

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