Curl Update

There's an issue when e.g. updating Joomla Plugins, curl cannot verify peer certificate because of an outdated CA Bundle.

To resolve and have an up-to-date CA-Certificate Bundle (and CURL library), it's necessary to update the Curl package. This can be done like this:

Copy the following RPMS to the Sever:

libcurl4-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
curl-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
curl-ca-bundle-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm

(only updating the ca bundle would not help because current curl cannot cope with hashing algorithms within the new bundle)

Then update packages on the server:

rpm -Uvh libcurl4-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm curl-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm curl-ca-bundle-7.44.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
