Package: firefox-esr
Version: 115.15.0esr-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cqu...@arcor.de
Dear Maintainer,
I have a system that I have been upgrading over several Debian releases. Today
I reviewed the certificate authorities in Firefox and I saw that there are a
bunch of certificates installed in the "Software Security Device". In
particular the ones from thawte, Inc. caught my attention since I thought those
ones where revoked at some point.
My impression is that after firefox gets updated and a certificate authority
is no longer in the "builtin Object Token", the user configuration still keeps
the removed certificates from the system. In fact I inspected cert9.db and the
query "select id, a3 from nssPublic ;" gave a list of such old certificates
together with other certificates that I manually added.
Maybe the bug was there at some point and since then my cert9.db still
contains those. I cannot really confirm whether the behaviour persists in
newest versions of Firefox. What is certain is that the upgrade of the Firefox
packages over the years has leaked that those certificates from the system
configuration to the user one and persist now there.
