Easylist update fails. Expired Cert

@jimmythedog This was all very good sleuthing and reporting. Thanks for the tip.
-
@jimmythedog Thanks! Good find on that Sophos link.
-
@jimmythedog That is both correct and incorrect.
The problem is that none of the chains presented by the server will end up chaining to the expired AddTrust cert UNLESS that is what is presented by the server. Server administrators SHOULD NOT be including the CA certificates that SHOULD be being pulled from the clients trusted root store in the first place. They should only be pushing as much of the chain as necessary to get the client chained into and pulling from its own trusted CA store.
Some clients (macOS, Windows) ignore superfluous certificates from the server and use their own store as soon as they have a match up the chain so they continue to validate even when the server admin makes a mistake.
Some (like OpenSSL in FreeBSD and CentOS at least) try to use what is pushed to them by the server. Those fail.

Well, now that I have made the modifications, Arpwatch now sends me these alerts:

Looks like there's one more server that needs to be updated on pfSense's side?

@jsylvia007 This is something our IT team is aware of and they are working to resolve.
-
@costanzo Quick update: Got a response from @AdblockPlus via twitter. They let their filter team know.

@jimmythedog Great, it works for me too. but you have to be careful while doing that I recommend to take a backup of this file before starting this process.
Steps here if someone wants to follow:
After you access the file /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt focus on this "Not After : Jan 1 00:00:00 2020 GMT" check the month and year if expired delete from "Certificate:" until "-----END CERTIFICATE-----". In my case, I found two then save and run update.
-
@Alanesi I totally agree about backing up the file first
-
Seems like they have fixed their Cert.
I don't see any errors using the pfBlockerNG default settings for EasyList.-Rico

Hi All,
First time user, so please be gentle with me!I think this article describes the problem quite well - especially the
Cross-signingsectionSo, to fix it, I deleted the old CA from the
/usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crtfile (lines 423-512 in my version), as described in theWhat to do?section in that link aboveHTH
Old thread but still relevant and found in google. I have an older pfsense install that I can't update for now. The CA file referred to above in mine has dozens of certs now out of date.
I have removed some that had "not after" prior to today, and it let the update of easylist work, so many thanks.
There are plenty to still remove, and while I'm sure the official solution is "update pfsense ffs", is there a place to just download an up-to-date valid ca-root-nss.crt
that will work?And thanks for your update - v helpful

Just thinking out loud : what about getting an ISO from 'whatever' open source project ? FreeBSD or Debian etc.
Copy what you find under /etc/ssl/.edit : forgot about the most obvious one : get the latest pfSense !!!!!
( as you need it even when you don't install it !!)and get the latest ca-root certs out of it.
Btw: having troubles with expired certs if the top of the ice-berg(problem).
