It's down for me, are they on PHP? :D

Gentoo Linux users are adviced to update the package "app-misc/ca-certificates" to version "20260816.3.125" or higher!:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-misc/ca-certificates-20260816.3.125"

To check via "curl":

    $ curl --url="https://dv-g3b-emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/"
    $ curl --url="https://dv-g3b-aaa-emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/"

They should return:

    curl: (60) SSL certificate OpenSSL verify result: unable to get local issuer certificate (20)
    More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

    curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
    establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
    how to fix it, please visit the webpage mentioned above.

This seems to be about ‘go’ proactively blocking emudhra certs even though the system trust store is out of date? https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2026-6809

Great. The technology has progressed enough to kill the existing technologies. It's like the fish in a pool creating a shark that eats away all the fish while the fish proudly announce that their great creation (shark) as the frontier progress for their fish race.

TL;DR:

The very urgent uv/certifi/etc releases (and yet-to-be-done bun release) are about removing the compromised CAs as described here:

https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/

In other words, that software bundled the compromised certs into the binary, so upgrading it is the only way to remove them.

This is about Go proactively blocking intermediates. Which shouldn't strictly be necessary as long as your OS has removed or distrusted the CAs (on my laptop, macOS has done that, although it seems like it did so in a way not all tools have access to; for example, rustls-platform-verifier respects it, but rustls-webpki still loads the bad CAs from the system trust store).

edit: forgot I can't use code blocks on HN

  You can, two space at the start of each line

Cock-up or conspiracy?

It's a bit surprising that this took ~1.5days to end up on HN.

This is news for NIST but old news generally speaking, being the eMudhra debacle. Or am I missing something?

Im guessing this only affects Go? But I am guessing that from the nist page as none of the headlines mention it at all.
