An attacker able to man-in-the-middle HTTP requests to an apt repository that uses InRelease files (clearsigned Release files), can take advantage of this flaw to circumvent the signature of the InRelease file, leading to arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.9.8.4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4~beta2.
