Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71640
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1475-1 (apt)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to apt
announced via advisory USN-1475-1.

Details:

Georgi Guninski discovered that APT relied on GnuPG argument order and did
not check GPG subkeys when validating imported keyrings via apt-key
net-update. While it appears that a man-in-the-middle attacker cannot
exploit this, as a hardening measure this update adjusts apt-key to
validate all subkeys when checking for key collisions.

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
apt 0.8.16~
exp5ubuntu13.4

Ubuntu 11.04:
apt 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.5

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.12

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.5
