Bug 836386 – <dev-libs/nss-{3.68.3, 3.76.1}: Memory safety issues with PKCS#11 tokens

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2022-03-29 23:47:29 UTC]

From the 3.76.1 release notes:
"":
   This release improves the stability of NSS when used in a multi-threaded
   environment. In particular, it fixes memory safety violations that can occur
   when PKCS#11 tokens are removed while in use (CVE-2022-1097). We presume
   that with enough effort these memory safety violations are exploitable.
"""

Please bump to 3.76.1.
