    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.
