============================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

ca-certificates was updated to the 20160104 package.

Software Description:
- ca-certificates: Common CA certificates

Details:

The ca-certificates package contained outdated CA certificates. This update
refreshes the included certificates to those contained in the 20160104

1024-bit RSA keys.

Update instructions:

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