(cURL: Certificate validation error)

    cURL and applications linked against libcurl support “OCSP
      stapling”, also known as the TLS Certificate Status Request extension
      (using the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS option). When telling cURL to use
      this feature, it uses that TLS extension to ask for a fresh proof of the
      server’s certificate’s validity. If the server doesn’t support the
      extension, or fails to provide said proof, cURL is expected to return an
      error.
      Due to a coding mistake, the code that checks for a test success or
      failure, ends up always thinking there’s valid proof, even when there
      is none or if the server doesn’t support the TLS extension in question.
  
Impact :

    Due to the error, a user maybe does not detect when a server’s
      certificate goes invalid or otherwise be mislead that the server is in a
      better shape than it is in reality.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
