Lack of data validation In notary
Description
In Docker Notary before 0.1, the checkRoot function in gotuf/client/client.go does not check expiry of root.json files, despite a comment stating that it does. Even if a user creates a new root.json file after a key compromise, an attacker can produce update files referring to an old root.json file.
Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
