The e-mail verification on the CAcert web server has recently led to repeated support requests. An analysis of the log files in our data center showed that the corresponding error occurred more frequently. So we have to conclude that many CAcert users have been negatively affected. In order to avoid further negative effects, an emergency
patch was deemed necessary by the Critical System Administrator Team.

The standardised review and testing of the emergency patch implemented yesterday is carried out by the regular teams in the aftermath, which can result in a formal blessing for this patch or a request for additional code or configuration changes. We would like to thank the Critical System Administrator Team for their quick and decisive action. All teams consist of volunteers. If you want to support the work done by the Critical System Administration Team and the review by the Software Team, please donate, to continue to run this service. Thank you.
