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)");
