Distrust eMudhra intermediate CA certificates due to security concerns in python-httplib2

https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/

python-httplib2 version 0.32.1 the Comodo AAA Certificate Services root CA to distrust eMudhra intermediate certificates:

https://github.com/httplib2/httplib2/compare/v0.32.0...v0.32.1
https://github.com/httplib2/httplib2/pull/262
https://github.com/httplib2/httplib2/commit/5fee2b095f49a6ad5e1f0a185d909c89199e4dc9

Note that httplib2 uses certificate store from the Python certifi module, if the module is available, and only falls back to the customer version if certifi module is not available.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2026-10-29 12:52:06 UTC
I am aware of the certfile.patch, and that python-httplib2 in Fedora is not really affected by this - see bug 2563296 comment 1.

I decided to file this regardless as the cacerts.txt file is included in RPMs, even though it should not be used.  It therefore got caught when we were searching for eMudhra certificates.  Would it be possible to stop including the file?  Or replace with a symlink to the system bundle form ca-certificates, if there is a need to keep including it?

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2026-11-08 22:25:26 UTC
Yeah, agreed. We should drop it... will look at doing that with the next release.
