Telekom Security: Root-CA certificates published in PEM encoded format

RESOLVED FIXED Deutsche Telekom Security GmbH
AI Summary

Telekom Security was found to have published Root CA certificates in PEM format instead of the required DER format, as specified in RFC 5280. This issue was identified through a third-party report and was resolved by replacing the incorrect files on the affected servers. The root cause was a lack of awareness regarding the encoding requirement among the personnel involved in the publication process. The incident was documented, and work instructions were updated to prevent future occurrences.
