Summary
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)

Bug Fix(es):
* [IBM 9.1] [P10] POWER10 performance enhancements for cryptography: nettle - incremental work (BZ#2102589)
* Allow enabling KTLS in AlmaLinux 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)
