The certificate introduced an unintended vulnerability, so Dell is now providing customers with removal instructions and will not add it to new devices going forward, the company said. This had better be true.

This doesn’t exactly make sense. A cert isn’t trusted unless your system recognizes it as signed by a known certificate authority. Do they mean that Dell accidentally “leaked” a CA cert, and put the cert and the private key on every system? Or is it cert+key signed by a known CA (and therefore not “self-signed”) which is flagged to be able to sign other keys and thus create trusted certs?

Dell security error widens as researchers dig deeper (Earlier problem is worse than was thought) Duo Security researchers found a second weak digital certificate on a new Dell Inspiron laptop
The fallout from a serious security mistake made by Dell is widening, as security experts find more issues of concern.
