+Security advisory: Fraudulent certificates
+
+Background:
+
+Recently a group of people managed to get fraudulent SSL certificates signed
+by a Certificate Authority (CA).
+
+These certificates potentially enable their owners to pretend to be other
+entities on the Web; the attackers can present valid certificates for e.g.
+mail.google.com, login.yahoo.com and login.live.com, among others.
+
+The patch below solves this problem by blacklisting those fake certificates
+and aborting an SSL handshake with entities that present these certificates.
+The patch applies to all 4.6 and 4.7 versions, and should be applied to all Qt
+4.6.x and 4.7.x versions; upcoming Qt releases will contain a fix for this
+problem.
+
+More technical background:
+
+In order to trick a user into establishing an SSL connection to a site using
+one of those fake certificates, in addition to controlling the certificate, an
+attacker would need to either control the DNS server used by the victim, or
+have control over a proxy that the victim uses. That way, the attacker could
+trick the victim to connect to the attacker?s site and then present the user
+with a valid certificate.
+
+One obvious question now is: Should those certificates not just be revoked,
+which would solve the problem?
+
+First, they have been revoked by the affected Certificate Authority (see above
+link).
+
+However, the problem in this case, and probably part of the reason why most
+browser vendors release new versions blacklisting those certificates, is that
+by default browsers do not treat invalid responses from an OCSP server (a
+server used for checking the revocation status of a certificate) as fatal, and
+will allow the SSL connection to proceed anyway. Qt itself does not support
+OCSP yet, which makes blacklisting the certificates the only valid option (now
+would be a good moment to vote on the task for implementing OCSP in Qt); since
+Qt is relying on the system root certificates since version 4.7, it cannot
+control the root certificates that Qt trusts automatically anymore.
