The Google Security Team discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in
the HTTP transport code in apt-get. An attacker able to
man-in-the-middle a HTTP request to an apt repository can trigger the
buffer overflow, leading to a crash of the http
apt method binary, or
potentially to arbitrary code execution.

Two regression fixes were included in this update:

Fix regression from the previous update in DSA-3025-1 when the custom
apt configuration option for Dir::state::lists is set to a relative
path (#762160).

Fix regression in the reverification handling of cdrom: sources that
may lead to incorrect hashsum warnings. Affected users need to run
