Title:
Mangled certificate
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
I'm using Thunderbird with multiple mail accounts, using SSL/TLS, on
network connections that aren't always reliable. Sometimes, very
rarely, Thunderbird gets confused about the certificate for a
particular account. It will throw up an Add Security Exception to let
me permanently accept an incorrect certificate.
If the server I connect to is at mail.abcdefghi.net port 123, the
dialog shows the server location as bcdefghi.nethi.net:123. The
"Permanently store this exception" checkbox is checked, and the dialog
is all ready to go. If I make any change to the server location
field, the button to create a security exception is grayed out—and
stays that way even change the server location back to the way it was.
(Some speculation, probably useless: So it's as if a copy of the
hostname had been slapped over a string buffer but shifted 6
characters to the left. That's an odd number, no pun intended. No
idea how it comes into the pictures, but it would be just enough
characters to accommodate a ":" plus the longest possible port
number.)
On a sidenote, in spite of the "legitimate companies won't ask you to
do this" wording, I'd feel safer if I wasn't taken straight to this
dialog when there was a problem!
