Title:
  12.04/openssl refusing some verisign certified sites

Status in OpenSSL cryptography and SSL/TLS toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in “ca-certificates” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Summary: SSL refuses to work with some https sites on both 12.04,
  13.04, 13.10, for fresh and updated installations. It is an issue with
  OpenSSL's handling of certificates..

  Fix: none yet, Openssl needs to be fixed upstream.
  http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2732

  WORKAROUND: 
  1) Copy the Root CA from Symantec's website https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&id=AR1556
  2) Paste the contents into a file under "/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/" and Update: 
  $ sudo vi /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/<anyname>.crt 
  $ sudo update-ca-certificates 

  # You should see output similar to this: 
  Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs... 1 added, 0 removed; done. 
  Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d....done. 

  
  ---- Original post ----
  After upgrading a 10.04 server to 12.04, SSL refuses to work with some sites.
  On 10.04,
  curl -v https://cs.directnet.com/dn/c/cls/auth?language=de
  works fine, on 12.04 it says:
  error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

  This happens on some very well know bank sites , another example is https://postfinance.ch.
  Hence I think

  Analysis:
  - test on an 10.04 upgraded to 12.04 and also a 12.04 fresh server installation
  - curl/7.22.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3
  - Calling ssl directly:
  openssl s_client -host cs.directnet.com -port 443
   says "self signed certificate in certificate chain", and the chain shown is:

  Certificate chain

  Now there are lots of certificates in /usr/share/ca-
  certificates/mozilla (148 of them, there were 123 in Lucid 10.04).

  Search the existing openssl/12.04 issues I came across ciper issues, but didnt' notice a bus for certs.
  Since this affects well know sites it would seems to be quite an important issue?
