+<p>
+libcurl (when built to use GnuTLS) fails to verify that a peer's certificate
+hasn't already expired or hasn't yet become valid. This allows malicious
+servers to present certificates to libcurl that won't be rejected properly.
+<p>
+Notably, the cacert and common name checks are still in place which reduces
+the risk for random servers to take advantage of this flaw.
