Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.63897
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-762-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'apt' package(s) announced via the USN-762-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'apt' package(s) announced via the USN-762-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Alexandre Martani discovered that the APT daily cron script did not check
the return code of the date command. If a machine is configured for
automatic updates and is in a time zone where DST occurs at midnight, under
certain circumstances automatic updates might not be applied and could
become permanently disabled. (CVE-2009-1300)

Michael Casadevall discovered that APT did not properly verify repositories
signed with a revoked or expired key. If a repository were signed with only
an expired or revoked key and the signature was otherwise valid, APT would
consider the repository valid. ([link moved to references])

Affected Software/OS:
'apt' package(s) on Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
10.0
