DigiCert didn't cross-sign the Federal PKI with their Mozilla trusted CAs. I'm sure Ben will tell me I have my terminology wrong, but DigiCert basically operates two PKIs: - DigiCert Public WebPKI - DigiCert Shared FederatedPKI
The first is a set of CAs that are in the Mozilla program and CAs signed by the Mozilla program. The second is a set of CAs that are signed by the US Federal PKI; they are not in the Mozilla program. The problem is that some non-DigiCert CA int he Mozilla program signed the US Federal PKI. The DigiCert Shared FederatedPKI is now brought in via that signature, with which they had nothing to do.
