Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-484-1 (curl)

The remote host is missing an update to curl
announced via advisory USN-484-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that the GnuTLS certificate verification methods
implemented in Curl did not check for expiration and activation dates.
