Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1444-01 - Network Security Services is a set of libraries designed to support the development of security-enabled client and server applications. It was found that the Malaysia-based Digicert Sdn. Bhd. subordinate Certificate Authority issued HTTPS certificates with weak keys. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted. This covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code signing. Note: Digicert Sdn. Bhd. is not the same company as found at digicert.com. Note: This fix only applies to applications using the NSS Builtin Object Token. It does not render the certificates untrusted for applications that use the NSS library, but do not use the NSS Builtin Object Token.
