Several days ago, root certificate "DST Root CA X3" expired, breaking TLS for many clients. I believe the lastest version of GnuTLS available on Cygwin (3.6.9, 2 years ago) is impacted. Is anyone able to publish a newer version of this package?
This impacts me as I use Cygwin Emacs and can no longer open TLS connections to many hosts for the purposes of web browsing and newsgroups. I believe all other Cygwin Emacs users would be impacted also. Repro steps: 1. Install Cygwin default packages. 2. Install Cygwin package emacs-w32 27.2-1. 3. In Cygwin terminal: emacs -nw -Q 4. In Emacs: M-: (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://gnu.org";) Expected: Emacs should load webpage and return a buffer. Actual: Emacs network security manager says certificate expired/could not be verified. After discussing this in the #emacs Libera.chat IRC, the consensus was that the old GnuTLS version is to blame, and that a newer version would fix the problem. Does anyone have similar issues or tips on how to resolve?
