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.
