updating CA certificates on 18.04

[Vijay Kumar]

Ubuntu 18.04 uses older version of NSS (version 3.35) by which the latest root certificates distributed by NSS are not trusted in Ubuntu 18.04. Hence, please update it to latest version of NSS. For example, Mozilla Firefox uses version 3.86 of NSS in Ubuntu 18.04. This issue is impacting a set of users using their TLS certificates from latest root CAs, where website connections are failing due to untrusted certificate authorities.

Hello Vijay and thanks for this bug report. The ca-certificates package is periodically upgraded in stable releases. The package changelog [1] will tell you which CAs are added/removed with the past updates.

If you still believe you spotted an issue with missing certificate please specify:

1. Which version of the package you are using;
2. Which CA is missing.

On the other hand if you agree the package actually ships all you need please mark this bug report as Invalid. Thanks!
