Name        : ca-certificates
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 2011.78
Release     : 1.fc14
URL         : http://www.mozilla.org/
Summary     : The Mozilla CA root certificate bundle
Description :
This package contains the set of CA certificates chosen by the
Mozilla Foundation for use with the Internet PKI.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes the latest updates to the root Certificate Authority list from Mozilla.

It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued fraudulent HTTPS certificates. This update removes that CA's root certificate from the ca-certificates package, rendering any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted.
