Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that python-apt would still use MD5 hashes to validate
 certain downloaded packages. If a remote attacker were able to perform a
 machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install
 altered packages. (CVE-2019-15795)

 It was discovered that python-apt could install packages from untrusted
 repositories, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2019-15796)");

  script_tag(name:"solution", value:"Please install the updated package(s).");
