published for gnutls26.

CVE-2009-1417[0]:
| gnutls-cli in GnuTLS before 2.6.6 does not verify the activation and
| expiration times of X.509 certificates, which allows remote attackers
| to successfully present a certificate that is (1) not yet valid or (2)
| no longer valid, related to lack of time checks in the
| _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in
| libgnutls_x509, as used by (a) Exim, (b) OpenLDAP, and (c) libsoup.

Note that this is fixed in 2.6.6-1 in unstable.  Please coordinate
with the security team (t...@security.debian.org) to prepare updates
for the stable releases.

CVE ids in your changelog entry.
