Comment 10 Oron Peled 2011-09-05 05:31:04 UTC
This severe issue has not been addressed at all in Fedora (14, 15, 16).
As a minimum, a security advisory is in place, instructing users to
manually remove Diginotar certificates. E.g (some dumbed-down guide):

Comment 11 Jan Vlug 2011-09-05 07:33:15 UTC
See bug#734679.
I consider this bug as very urgent. Fraudulent certificates have been released for Google, Twitter, Yahoo, and possible Dutch government sites.

Comment 12 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2011-09-05 07:52:49 UTC
Oron, Jan,

We are waiting for upstream to release fixed packages for Mozilla products. Once they do, we will release them for fedora.
