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

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

An expired certificate was removed from ca-certificates.

Software Description:

Details:

The ca-certificates package contained an expired CA certificate that caused
connectivity issues. This update removes the "AddTrust External Root" CA.

refreshes the included certificates to those contained in the 20190110
