Advisory ID:       SLSA-2013:1866-1
Issue Date:        2013-12-20
CVE Numbers:       None

It was found that a subordinate Certificate Authority (CA) mis-issued an
intermediate certificate, which could be used to conduct man-in-the-middle
attacks. This update renders that particular intermediate certificate as
untrusted.

After installing the update, all applications using the ca-certificates
package must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
