AI Summary

Telia Company discovered a compliance issue involving the misissuance of a certificate with an invalid wildcard format during a mass lint scan of its SSL certificates on February 8, 2019. The CA identified a total of nine invalid certificates across various error categories, including the specific wildcard format issue. Following the discovery, Telia revoked the problematic certificate within the required timeframe and implemented a fix to its server name verification code to prevent future occurrences. The fix was successfully deployed to production on February 18, 2019, and Telia has since conducted a comprehensive review of its verification processes to enhance compliance with Mozilla and CAB Forum requirements.
