denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3479)

Christian Holler discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain PKCS 12
certificated bundles. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS
to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2023-0767)
