On 2019.08.28 we read Apple’s bug report at 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1577014 about DigiCert’s OCSP 
responder returning incorrect results for a precertificate. This prompted us to 
run our own investigation. We found in an initial review that for 35 of our 
precertificates, we were serving incorrect OCSP results (“unauthorized” instead 
of “good”). Like DigiCert, this happened when a precertificate was issued, but 
the corresponding certificate was not issued due to an error.

We’re taking these additional steps to ensure a robust fix:
  - For each precertificate issued according to our audit logs, verify that we 
are serving a corresponding OCSP response (if the precertificate is currently 
valid).
  - Configure alerting for the conditions that create this problem, so we can 
fix any instances that arise in the short term.
  - Deploy a code change to Boulder to ensure that we serve OCSP even if an 
error occurs after precertificate issuance.
