ISRG CPS Section 4.2.1: "The CA checks for relevant CAA records prior to 
issuing certificates. The CA acts in accordance with CAA records if present."

At 9:45am U.S. Pacific time on December 7th, 2015, it was reported to us that 
our Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) record checks were not working 
properly [1]. We determined that the report was accurate.

At 1:11pm U.S. Pacific time on the same day a fix was deployed to production. 
The fix has been verified to be correct.

The cause of the problem was determined to be a bug in our "boulder" CA 
software.

An analysis of logs and our certificate database determined that six 
certificates were improperly issued to domains restricted by CAA. These 
certificates have been revoked.

We work hard to make sure that we're issuing in compliance with all relevant 
policies. We will be reviewing our policies and procedures to determine how we 
might best reduce the risk of such a mistake happening again.
