Synopsis:    Important: ca-certificates security update
Issue Date:  2011-09-02


This package contains the set of CA certificates chosen by the Mozilla
Foundation for use with the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued fraudulent HTTPS
certificates. This update removes that CA's root certificate from the
ca-certificates package, rendering any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA
as untrusted.

All users should upgrade to this updated package. After installing the
update, all applications using the ca-certificates package must be
restarted for the changes to take effect.

SL6:
  noarch
     ca-certificates-2010.63-3.el6_1.5.noarch.rpm
