Package              : ca-certificates
Version              : 20200601~deb10u2
Importance           : medium

The ca-certificates package includes copies of the root and intermediate
SSL certificates used by various Certificate Authorities to sign SSL
certificates they issue. This allows applications to confirm the
authenticity of certificates being used by servers that they connect
to.

The ca-certificates update in SUA 182-1 included distrusting legacy
Symantec certificates.  However, this update did not consider the
whitelisting by browsers of some intermediate certificates (see 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes#Symantec), and thus
caused unintentional breakage.

If you use ca-certificates to connect to TLS endpoints using a 
certificate issued from a legacy Symantec root CA, we recommend that you 
install this update.

Note: after upgrading to this version, the legacy Symantec CA 
certificates may not be automatically re-added to the trust store.  They
can be re-enabled by running "dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates".
