Package: iceweasel
Version: 35.0-1
Tags: security

Iceweasel gets confused with the jwilk.net certificate, displaying 
incorrect information in the site identity popup, making the connection 
appear more secure than in actually is. To reproduce:

1) Go to https://jwilk.net/software/ and accept the self-signed 
certificate.

2) Click on the site identity button. The popup says says "This website 
does not supply identity information".

3) Open https://www.debian.org/ in another tab.

4) Go back to the original tab.

5) Click on the site button identity. Now the popup says "Verified by: 
Gandi", which is incorrect.
