Bug#526979: konqueror: cannot import SSL root certificates
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: important
Hello,
Since upgrading from 3.5 to 4.2, Konqueror has become completely unable
to import root certificates with the certificate manager. That makes
secure connections to, e.g. Cacert.org-certified websites _impossible_.
Needless to mention that this is a security problem. The work around
whereby the security warnings are ignored exposes the user to
man-in-the-middle attacks that SSL is supposed to protect from.
