Package              : pagekite
Version              : 0.5.9.3-2+deb10u1 [buster]
Importance           : medium


PageKite is a system for running publicly visible servers (generally
web servers) on machines without a direct connection to the Internet.

In order to simplify setup for users, the pagekite package includes
copies of the root and intermediate SSL certificates used by various
Certificate Authorities to sign SSL certificates related to the
PageKite service.

Recently, one of the included certificates - the "AddTrust External
Root" certificate - expired, causing problems for PageKite installs
attempting to verify connections to the service using that certificate.

It should be possible to verify affected connections using other
"chains" of intermediate and root certificates. However, the inclusion
of the expired certificate can lead to it being used in preference,
resulting in verification failures.

This update moves PageKite to use the Debian-provided "ca-certificates"
package, rather than the internal embedded certificates, allowing
connections to be verified successfully.

If you use PageKite, we recommend that you install this update.
