apt: man-in-the-middle attack
| Package(s): | apt |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2012-0954
|
| Created: | June 18, 2012 |
Updated: | June 20, 2012 |
| Description: |
From the Ubuntu advisory:
Georgi Guninski discovered that APT did not properly validate imported
keyrings via apt-key net-update. USN-1475-1 added additional verification
for imported keyrings, but it was insufficient. If a remote attacker were
able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be
used to install altered packages. This update corrects the issue by
disabling the net-update option completely. A future update will re-enable
the option with corrected verification. |
