Summary0003772: Chromium Certificate
Description

Due to a bug in Chrome, versions of Chrome 53 that are more than 10 weeks old now display this error message for all websites using Symantec certificates that were issued on or after June 1, 2016 (including from Symantec-owned brands like Thawte and GeoTrust). As of Friday, November 11, 2016, Chrome users can simply restart Chrome to avoid the bug. Chromium users must upgrade. However, the lastest version of Chromium in Kali is 53. So please upgrade the version in kali. Thanks.

Steps To Reproduce

Just open the websites using Symantec certificates that were issued on or after June 1, 2016 (including from Symantec-owned brands like Thawte and GeoTrust), such as:
https://www.symantec.com/
and you will see the error.

I can confirm this is an issue on chromium version 53.0.2785.143-1, which is currently the latest version in the repo.

The error message that appears in chromium that indicates this is an error is:

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from <<redacted website host>> (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED

the new version of chromium in kali-rolling (55.0.2883.75-3) fixes this issue.
