Jann Horn of Google Project Zero discovered
that APT, the high level package manager, does not properly handle errors when
validating signatures on InRelease files. 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.
