Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

An attacker could trick APT into installing altered packages.

Software Description: - apt: Advanced front-end for dpkg

Details:

Simon Ruderich discovered that APT incorrectly handled repositories that use InRelease files. The default Ubuntu repositories do not use InRelease files, so this issue only affected third-party repositories. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install altered packages.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10:
apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.2

Ubuntu 11.04:
apt 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.4

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
