    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2299-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst August 31, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

    Package : ca-certificates
    Vulnerability : comprimised certificate authority
    Problem type : local/remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian Bug : 639744

    An unauthorized SSL certificate has been found in the wild issued
    the DigiNotar Certificate Authority, obtained through a security
    compromise with said company. Debian, like other software
    distributors, has as a precaution decided to disable the DigiNotar
    Root CA by default in its ca-certificates bundle.

    For other software in Debian that ships a CA bundle, like the
    Mozilla suite, updates are forthcoming.

    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), the ca-certificates package
    does not contain this root CA.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), the root CA has been
    disabled starting ca-certificates version 20090814+nmu3.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution
    (sid), the root CA has been disabled starting ca-certificates
    version 20110502+nmu1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ca-certificates packages.
