Summary: Moderate: gnutls and nettle security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Details: The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS. Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in almost any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages, such as C++, Python, or Pike, in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: gnutls (3.7.6), nettle (3.8). Security Fix(es): * gnutls: Double free during gnutls_pkcs7_verify. (CVE-2022-2509) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * [IBM 9.1] [P10] POWER10 performance enhancements for cryptography: nettle - incremental work (BZ#2102589) * Allow enabling KTLS in Rocky Linux 9.1 (BZ#2108532) * DES-CBC bag is decryptable under FIPS (BZ#2115314) * allow signature verification using RSA keys <2k in FIPS mode (BZ#2119770)
