Bug#548567: in epiphany-webkit

[Sam Morris]

Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security

I just found out that epiphany-webkit does not even validate
certificates any more!

IMHO this is a grave security issue. Users are exposed to
man-in-the-middle attacks and potentially even legal liability

Oh, and I just re-read kov's message to this bug. I'm happy to file
separate bugs for each issue. I just didn't because I thought it would
annoy everyone to do it that way. I'll try to do it this weekend when I
have some time. :)
