    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2300-2 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst September 5, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : nss
    Vulnerability : comprimised certificate authority
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : not available

    Several unauthorised SSL certificates have been found in the wild issued
    for 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 the NSS crypto libraries.

    As a result from further understanding of the incident, this update
    to DSA 2300 disables additional DigiNotar issuing certificates.

    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.12.3.1-0lenny6.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.12.8-1+squeeze3.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.12.11-2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
