gnutls28 update
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its
derivatives:
* Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary
USN-4233-1 marked SHA1 as untrusted in GnuTLS with no workaround.
Software Description
* gnutls28 - GNU TLS library
Details
USN-4233-1 disabled SHA1 being used for digital signature
operations in GnuTLS. In certain network environments,
certificates using SHA1 may still be in use. This update adds the
%VERIFY_ALLOW_BROKEN and %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_WITH_SHA1 priority
strings that can be used to temporarily re-enable SHA1 until
certificates can be replaced with a stronger algorithm.
Original advisory details:
As a security improvement, this update marks SHA1 as being
untrusted for digital signature operations.
