+----------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - Bug 1756271 - Remove token member from NSSSlot struct.
+
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.76.1 shared libraries are backwards-compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared
+ libraries. A program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with
+ this new version of the shared libraries without recompiling or
+ relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs to the
+ functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future
+ versions of the NSS shared libraries.
+
+`Feedback <#feedback>`__
+------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report on
+ `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS).
+
+`Notes <#notes>`__
+------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ 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.
