Hi distributors,
By now, you're likely to already have at least one bug report about
this, but an important root CA expired yesterday, leading to a large
number of certificate verification failures in applications that use
GnuTLS [1][2]. Almost all GNOME applications, including WebKitGTK,
depend on GnuTLS (via glib-networking) to perform certificate
verification, so the impact is quite significant.
A patch for GnuTLS is available at [3], which you are encouraged to
urgently apply. Fedora, Debian, and freedesktop-sdk updates are already
in the works. In the meantime, you'll probably notice significant
breakage in random places; e.g. Epiphany CI is currently broken due to
failure to download our adblock filters, freedesktop-sdk builds were
broken due to failure to download gnu-hello, etc.
Michael
