Bug Description

USN Information: This is being tracked in USN-1197-*

NOTE: The Firefox update causes a regression for certain Dutch sites which is being tracked in Bug #838322.
NOTE #2: The current update for Thunderbird still shows the DigiNotar Root CA as trusted in the certificate manager. This is due to Thunderbird using the system version of NSS. In this initial update, Thunderbird will actively distrust any certificate signed by the DigiNotar Root CA. Future updates will properly show the root CA as distrusted in the certificate manager.

WORKAROUND (from blog post):

Also affects SeaMonkey (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey). Please update SeaMonkey to version 2.3.2 so that this problem can be prevented there too. SeaMonkey version 2.3.2 erroneously identifies itself as version 2.3.1 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683473). If you need to check that it's really 2.3.2 and not 2.3.1, go to https://www.diginotar.nl/ or to any other page signed by Diginotar. Version 2.3.1 will display the page without complaining whereas 2.3.2 will complain that the site is insecure.

As you might have seen at Mozilla's Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683449), the current Gecko fixes block too much, so there will soon be another update to the mentioned Gecko products, presumably requiring action in Ubuntu too.

The proposed workaround is only for Firefox.
What about other applications that may access Google services on a Ubuntu system?
Can we simply "sudo rm /etc/ssl/certs/DigiNotar_Root_CA.pem" ?

@Olivier Mengué
I am working on updates for NSS and ca-certificates to address this system wide.

@Anonymous
Seamonkey is currently not in a good state, but I will try to get an update for it eventually. In the mean time, the NSS update should take care of this security issue for most use cases.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, the ca-certificates and NSS fixes available at the moment are only a partial fix that won't actually help very much. I'm currently waiting on fixes that should address this issue completely. I will be releasing Thunderbird in a few hours with the same fix that Firefox got which blocks the rogue certificates, but possibly causes a regression for certain Dutch sites (see Description of this bug).

---------------
thunderbird (7.0~b2+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_7_0b2_BUILD2)
    - LP: #837557 and LP: #838322

  * Update globalmenu-extension to 2.0
    - Only update a menu in realtime if it's parent is opening. For all other
      times, just invalidate the menu. Avoids spamming dbus everytime
      something changes in the menu
    - When removing a menuitem from its parent, check that the index is
      in-bounds. Should fix a frequent crash on startup, although it doesn't
      explain how it gets in to that state in the first place
    - Add the ability to turn on debugging without building Firefox with
      debugging on
  * Add upstream patch to only add ENABLE_JIT=1 to CXXFLAGS if any of trace/
    method/yarr jit is enabled. Fixes a build failure on PPC
    - add debian/patches/only-add-ENABLE_JIT-to-CXXFLAGS-if-jit-is-enabled.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Add upstream patch to fix build failure with ENABLE_YARR_JIT=0
    - add debian/patches/build-fix-for-no-ENABLE_YARR_JIT.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Add upstream patch to work around a linker bug
    - add debian/patches/compile-pldhash-as-C++.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Don't pass an empty --mozilla-repo= argument to client.py when creating
    the source tarball without a local cache, as it totally breaks. This is
    why we've got rid of all this in nightly and aurora, so we can avoid
    such bandaids in the first place
    - update debian/mozclient/thunderbird.conf
  * Messagingmenu fixes:
    - Use the libunity5 ABI (LP: #839154)
    - Don't use QueryInterface on objects where we can't guarantee they
      implement a particular interface (LP: #826447)
  * Make sure that thunderbird-gnome-support actually depends on libunity5
    - update debian/rules
  * Update eds extension to r84 from 0.3 branch
    - fixes a shutdown crash
  * Use the latest eds libs for the contacts integration
