Package : ca-certificates
Version : 20200601~deb9u2
Debian Bug : 962596

This update reverts the Symantec CA blacklist (which was originally
#911289). The following root certificates were added back (+):
+ "GeoTrust Global CA"
+ "GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority"
+ "GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority - G2"
+ "GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority - G3"
+ "GeoTrust Universal CA"
+ "thawte Primary Root CA"
+ "thawte Primary Root CA - G2"
+ "thawte Primary Root CA - G3"
+ "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G4"
+ "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5"
+ "VeriSign Universal Root Certification Authority"

NOTE: due to bug #743339, CA certificates added back in this version
won't automatically be trusted again on upgrade. Affected users may
need to reconfigure the package to restore the desired state.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
20200601~deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ca-certificates packages.
