DigiCert / Justica: Invalid DNS names
This case involves DigiCert's subCA, Justiça, which issued a certificate with an invalid DNS name (.local). The issue was first reported on August 12, 2017, leading to a request for revocation on August 14, 2017, and the certificate was revoked by August 15, 2017. Justiça acknowledged their misunderstanding of the Baseline Requirements regarding the use of .local domains and has since ceased issuing such certificates. They are in the process of replacing all internal certificates and expect to complete this by October 13, 2017. The case has been resolved with the certificate being revoked and expired.
