Details

From bug 163900. Bob Relyea suggested to be more strict when importing certificates, in order to prevent denial-of-service-attacks caused by incoming S/Mime messages having certificates that can cause bustage to other elements of the certificate database, like overriding CAs. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163900#c10 and after
