Is SHA1 still secure for use as hash function in PBKDF2?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4938906

Question

As there have been significant advances in the cryptoanalysis of SHA1 it's supposed to be phased out in favor of SHA2 (wikipedia).

For use as underlying hash function in PBKDF2, however, it's basically used as a PRNG. As such it should be still secure to use SHA1 as hash for PBKDF2, right?
