USN-1215-1 fixed a vulnerability in APT by disabling the apt-key net-update
option. This update re-enables the option with corrected verification.
Original advisory details:
 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.");
