Debian DSA-3025-1 : apt - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 77715

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that APT, the high level package manager, does not properly invalidate unauthenticated data (CVE-2014-0488 ), performs incorrect verification of 304 replies (CVE-2014-0487 ), does not perform the checksum check when the Acquire::GzipIndexes option is used (CVE-2014-0489 ) and does not properly perform validation for binary packages downloaded by the apt-get download command (CVE-2014-0490 ).

Solution

Upgrade the apt packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.7.9+deb7u3.
