I have run into another bug that appears to be fixed in WoSign's infrastructure 
but is worth noting.

In April 2015, two different WoSign CAs issued multiple certificates to 
distinct subjects using the same serial number.  The CT logs have picked up two 
instances of this occuring:

https://crt.sh/?serial=0D3BBDC3A0175E38F9D0070CD050986A shows eight distinct 
certificates with the same serial number, all with notBefore dates of 
2015-04-14.

https://crt.sh/?serial=056D1570DA645BF6B44C0A7077CC6769 shows dozens of 
distinct certificates with the same serial number, with notBefore dates between 
2015-04-10 and 2015-04-14.

I have not examined their management assertions to see if this was documented 
and I do not know if this was reported to Mozilla at the time.  These 
certificates do not appear to meet RFC 5280's requirements, which say:

   "The serial number MUST be a positive integer assigned by the CA to
   each certificate.  It MUST be unique for each certificate issued by a
   given CA (i.e., the issuer name and serial number identify a unique
   certificate)"
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.1.2.2)

Was Mozilla advised of this issue?

Thanks,
Peter
