Detail

The previous update for apt, DSA-3025-1, introduced a regression when file:/// sources are used and those are on a different partition than the apt state directory. This update fixes the regression.

For reference, the original advisory follows.

It was discovered that APT, the high level package manager, does not properly invalidate unauthenticated data (CVE-2014-0488), performs incorrect verification of 304 replies (CVE-2014-0487), does not perform the checksum check when the Acquire::GzipIndexes option is used (CVE-2014-0489) and does not properly perform validation for binary packages downloaded by the apt-get download command (CVE-2014-0490).

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.7.9+deb7u4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.9.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your apt packages.
