gnutls28 update
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
USN-4233-1 marked SHA1 as untrusted in GnuTLS with no workaround.
Software Description
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
