Debian, like other software distributors, has as a precaution decided to disable the DigiNotar Root CA by default in the NSS crypto libraries. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.12.3.1-0lenny5. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.12.8-1+squeeze2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.12.11-2. We recommend that you upgrade your nss packages.
