Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: APT could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic. Software Description: - apt: Advanced front-end for dpkg Details: It was discovered that APT incorrectly handled certain http URLs. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to cause APT to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-6273) In addition, this update fixes regressions introduced by the USN-2348-1 security update: APT incorrectly handled file:/// sources on a different partition, incorrectly handled Dir::state::lists set to a relative path, and incorrectly handled cdrom: sources. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
