Bugzilla #1890896 Certificate Misissuance

Entrust: CPS typographical (text placement) error

RESOLVED FIXED Entrust
AI Summary

Entrust identified a typographical error in their Certificate Practice Statement (CPS) which incorrectly required the policyQualifier for OV certificates. This error affected 6,008 OV TLS certificates issued between March 22 and March 26, 2024. The issue was corrected in a subsequent CPS version, and Entrust decided not to revoke the affected certificates, citing that re-issuance would result in identical certificates. The incident report was filed late, and Entrust has committed to improving their procedures to prevent similar issues in the future.
