From ${URL} : Debian bug #783601[1] reported that Gobby - a collaborative text editor - silently accepted expired certificates. The upstream bug report is [2]. The bug is actually in libinfinity and the fix is available on [2]. libinfinity does support certificate pinning and hence contains the ability to disable some checks like trusted issuer and hostname verification. However the catch-all validity check was in the wrong location. Please assign a CVE ID for this. Kind regards and thanks Philipp Kern [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783601 [2] https://github.com/gobby/gobby/issues/61 [3] https://github.com/gobby/libinfinity/commit/c97f870f5ae13112988d9f8ad464b4f679903706 @maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
