[Secure-testing-team] Bug#700212: GlobalSign CAs should not be trusted

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20130119
Severity: important
Tags: security

According to
<https://www.globalsign.com/certificate-authority-root-signing/>, any
organisation may buy a secondary CA certificate signed by one of
GlobalSign's root CA certificates.  These should therefore not be
trusted by default.

Ben.
