Urgent GnuTLS update required



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.
