Detail

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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
libgnutls30 3.5.18-1ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libgnutls30 3.4.10-4ubuntu1.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
