*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Description of certuitls here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/tools/NSS_Tools_certutil#Options_and_Arguments

contradicts the man page here:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/certutil.1.html

In the former "-t p" is "prohibited (explicitly distrusted)".  In the
latter, it's "Valid peer".

I'm listing it as a security vuln, because someone could do mistakenly
do the wrong thing.

** Affects: nss (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
