Hi,

Please consider unblocking not-yet-uploaded package e2guardian

Quite recently Google Chrome changed its policy regarding certificate
requirements. Certs without a subjectAltName field get now rejected.

In the e2guardian content filter system, there is support for filtering
SSL encrypted http traffic by decrypting, checking its content and then
re-encrypting SSL-encrypted content. Whereas some consider this as a
m-i-t-m attack, in some setups this makes good sense (e.g. in school
networks).

For re-encrypting the content, a self-signed set of certs gets used.
In previous versions, these certs lack the SAN field. With a patch
from upstream (that they backported to the 3.4 branch of e2guardian esp.
for Debian 9), this issue has now been fixed.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862855 for details.

unblock e2guardian/3.4.0.3-2

We're quite close to the release date, so I suggest you upload it now, and
remove the moreinfo tag from this bug once it's in unstable. I'll take a
closer look at that point.

Cheers,

Ivo

+ removing the moreinfo tag now...

Mike
