Package: icedove Version: 24.7.0-1~deb7u1 Severity: serious Tags: security I've marked this serious and added the security tag because it is possible that users confronted by this situation may be tempted to click the "confirm" rather than "cancel" button when trying to get out of this loop and then icedove will remember that they have authorized a certificate that they might not have really wanted or inspected.
The TLS certificate on the IMAP server expired early in the morning. The popup appeared asking me to confirm an exception to allow the certificate. Regardless of whether I click confirm or cancel, the popup keeps re-appearing. It seems that icedove has queued up many operations asynchronously (I was away from the computer for many hours) and keeps showing the popup. Despite clicking cancel continuously for 1 minute it still didn't go away so I had to terminate the process. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
