Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-4008 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (libtasn1-3, libtasn1-6), 14 status rows across 7 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 6, released 5, not-affected 2, needed 1.
The _asn1_extract_der_octet function in lib/decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 4.8, when used without the ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER flag, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted certificate.
