@mattjones86 that does not seem expected - Let's Encrypt have been issuing certificate from their R3 intermediate since December 2021 (https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/beginning-issuance-from-r3/139018) and have been supplying two intermediates (an Let's Encrypt R3 to ISRG Root X1 and a Let's Encrypt R3 to DST Root CA X3) in the default chain since 4th May 2021 (https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/production- chain-changes/150739). Given that certificates issued by Let's Encrypt have a maximum validity period of 90 days, all certificates that are still valid after the 4th of August would have been issued in this manner.
The only thing I could think of that would explain the behaviour mentioned, is if your ACME client was failing to update the certificate chain/bundle (or your server was configured to serve and old/stale bundle). Most browsers (including Chrome) will also automatically fetch issuer intermediate certificates if they're not supplied by the server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ca-certificates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1944481 Title: Distrust "DST Root CA X3" Status in ca-certificates package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in ca-certificates source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in ca-certificates source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in ca-certificates source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in ca-certificates source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in ca-certificates source package in Hirsute: Fix Released Status in ca-certificates source package in Impish: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * ca-certificates trusts the letsencrypt CA certificate "ISRG Root X1" * ca-certificates also trusts the CA certificate "DST Root CA X3" which cross-signs letencrypt CA * "DST Root CA X3" is about to expire, however it has issued an updated cross-signature to letsencrypt beyond its own expiry * This causes issues with older implementations of openssl & gnutls that reject such chains when offered to clients by servers. * We have provided fixes for openssl in xenial and gnutls in bionic/xenial, however trusty systems remain affected. Also any self built old copies of openssl/gnutls remain suspeptible to this expiry. * One solution is to blacklist the "DST Root CA X3" from the ca-certificates package as described at https://blog.devgenius.io/rhel-centos-7-fix-for-lets-encrypt-change-8af2de587fe4 - connectivity to sites chained to "DST Root CA X3" will be unaffected, and servers that chain to both "ISRG Root X1" and "DST Root CA X3" should start to work unmodified. * This is similar to how this was handled for AddTrust before "* mozilla/blacklist.txt: blacklist expired AddTrust External Root CA."
