 Package : nss CVE ID : CVE-2024-0743 CVE-2024-6602 CVE-2024-6609

 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in NSS, a set of cryptographic libraries, which may result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitary code.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2:3.87.1-1+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
