Bug Description

According to the memo from VeriSign ( https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&id=AD146&actp=LIST ) the certificates signed with Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority OLD ROOT should be accepted until they are renewed or replaced.

However, this OLD ROOT certificate ( Serial Number 70:ba:e4:1d:10:d9:29:34:b6:38:ca:7b:03:cc:ba:bf ) is missed in Precise (but it's present in Lucid) so the command

curl -Iv https://authentication.business.gov.au/

reports invalid certificate in Precise while successfully do connection in Lucid.

Perhaps all other old root certificates from VeriSign also are missed.

More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.
