Description Matt 2009-03-24 14:01:20 UTC
the SSL Blacklist Add-On on firefox warns about the ca-certificate https://bugs.gentoo.org uses being insecure

(see: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=2339)

(for a description of SSL Blacklist: http://www.codefromthe70s.org/sslblacklist.aspx)

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
https://bugs.gentoo.org should at least have a sha1- or sha2-based ca-certificate and later if possible sha3

I marked this critical since it's a security problem and gentoo infrastructure has a high probability to be attacked/abused (subjective opinion)

thanks for your attention

Please search properly for bugs.

The blacklist is a !@#!@ piece of junk that doesn't recognize the different between the CA's certificate and the actual site's certificate.

Our site cert is SHA1, the CA is still on MD5. Read the original bug.
