The verify(1ssl) man page has descriptions of these error codes.  7 is
"X509_V_ERR_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: certificate signature failure",
which is described as: the signature of the certificate is invalid.

I would presume that this is because the signature cannot be verified
with the public key that it's said to be verifiable with -- i.e., the
data in one of the certificates has been modified since it was signed
(and thus, the signature has been invalidated).
