Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1215-1) |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'apt' package(s) announced via the USN-1215-1 advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'apt' package(s) announced via the USN-1215-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the apt-key utility incorrectly verified GPG keys when downloaded via the net-update option. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install altered packages. This update corrects the issue by disabling the net-update option completely. A future update will re-enable the option with corrected verification. Affected Software/OS: 'apt' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
