FWIW I think the reason we're unaffected (as far as we can tell so far) is because we're not re-issuing certs within a short time period. The bug their end was to do with checking CAA records, if you re-issued the cert for a multi-domain cert within a short period of time after the initial provision then it wouldn't re-check the CAA records. This meant that subsequent CAA changes wouldn't be checked and theoretically a cert could be re-issued despite a CAA record being added to prevent this. As i'm reading it, if you didn't re-issue within this timeframe then your cert can be assumed to be correct as the original CAA check wasn't a problem.

Is there anything to suggest if this relates to Certbot or API provisioning only? or both? We've checked a whole bunch of API v1 provisioned certs against their tool and nothing has been listed so far.
Taylor has just mentioned on Twitter that he's going to start looking at Gitlab and Bitbucket tonight.
