I'm seeing nsIX509CertDB::IsCertTrusted() return bogus trusted values for certs that I'm downloading (I guess I'm driving the APIs differently from Firefox). Looking at the code, nsNSSCertificateDB::IsCertTrusted() is ignoring the return value from CERT_GetCertTrust(), and so uninitialized bits of stack memory. GetCertTrust() is failing because cert->trust is null.
This would seem to be fairly serious.

Comment on attachment 194635 [details] [diff] [review] Patch Fortunately, I believe we only use this code in the UI for a Certificate itself, but that doesn't mean it can't be set in the future. We should take this patch into 1.85 r=relyea
