Description David Woodhouse 2015-08-04 16:21:40 UTC

Evolution is reporting that our IMAP server has an expired cert. It doesn't; it's just that for some reason glib-networking has reimplemented a bunch of security-sensitive code instead of just using GnuTLS as it should. And has got it wrong.

Full details in upstream bug.

(Since we're not currently aware of any security issues in this code affecting current releases, I don't think we need to backport anything here.)
