Identified - This morning a vulnerability was discovered utilizing PHP memory exploits that affected three tools utilized in Canvas. The affected tools are as follows:
Honorlock
Simple Syllabus
Respondus LockDown Browser
The vendors for these tools have already created mitigating steps to prevent the effects of the exploit. These steps have caused either outages or degradation in the noted tools. Currently, there is no ETA for when the fix will be in place. However, the vendors have stated that fixes should be implemented this afternoon.

Update - Due to the revocation of the "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" root certificate, we are experiencing connection issues with the ACME proxies, acme-single.it.tamu.edu and acme-multi.it.tamu.edu. There is no estimated time to resolution. If you have an urgent need to issue a replacement RSA certificate, please reach out to certificates@tamu.edu.

Identified - On October 18th, 8 intermediate certificates issued by eMudhra, the CA upstream of CertiNext - our certificate issuance provider, were revoked by the trust stores ran by Mozilla, Google, and Apple. At about 8AM today, Mozilla announced that in addition to the 8 intermediate certificates, they would also be removing the root "emSign ECC Root CA - G3". This root is the trust anchor for ECC certificates issued through CertiNext/Internet 2's Certificate Service. eMudhra has announced that they have immediately stopped issuance from this root in advance of the emergency removal.
Once the root is removed, impacted systems may exhibit secure connection issues with errors such as:
"Your connection isn't private" (Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome/Safari)
"Be careful. Something doesn't look right." (Firefox)
This can also prevent secure connections for automated processes.
We advise that all system administrators utilizing ECC certificates re-issue certificates on affected systems using RSA key types immediately where possible.
For certbot, this can be done via the command line flag --key-type RSA
For simple-acme, this can be done via the command line flag --csr rsa
We will continue providing updates as more information becomes available.
