Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-03-24 09:00:40 UTC 
Given that we have distrusted WoSign and StartSSL (bug #598072) before upstream changed anything it is now time to do the same for Symantec after Google announced to effectively nullify all currently valid certificates issued by Symantec-owned CAs.

Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-04-12 11:04:30 UTC 
Just for the records, the commit from comment #1 was reverted by a mask (via commit https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/profiles/package.mask?id=1d41acb61bc8807f1974a47c7232ce7a12821340) just a few minutes after the bump.

Gentoo is awaiting action from any CAB member before changing trust for Symantec in Gentoo.
