"Ansgar Burchardt discovered that APT incorrectly handled InRelease
files. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle
attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install altered
packages.

This update corrects the issue by disabling InRelease file support
completely. Please note that this update breaks third-party
repositories that provide only a InRelease file and no separate
Release and Release.gpg files. The default Ubuntu repositories do not
use InRelease files.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
