[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1258286@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package ca-certificates -
20130906ubuntu0.12.04.1

---------------
ca-certificates (20130906ubuntu0.12.04.1) precise-security; urgency=medium

  * Update ca-certificates database to 20130906 (LP: #1257265):
    - backport changes from the Ubuntu 14.04 20130906ubuntu1 package
    - No longer ship cacert.org certificates (LP: #1258286)
    - No longer ship obsolete debconf.org certificates
    - mozilla/certdata2pem.py: Work around openssl issue by shipping both
      versions of the same signed roots. Previously, the script would
      simply overwrite the first one found in the certdata.txt with the
      later one since they both have the same CKA_LABEL, resulting in
      identical filenames. (LP: #1014640, LP: #1031333)

Bug description:
  Ubuntu is one of the few distributions shipping CAcert as a trusted
  certificate. Many distributions are considering[1] whether to remove
  CAcert, and Mozilla closed the RFE[2] for CAcert in 2008, which was
  opened in 2003.

  Concerns were expressed about CAcert's code quality[3], and their
  audit appears to be stalled.

  In the past, it appears that Ubuntu disabled[4] CAcert, but this is no
  longer the case. It may be wise to do so again.
