Jakub Wilk discovered that APT, the high level package manager,
did not properly perform authentication checks for source packages
downloaded via “apt-get source”. This only affects use cases where
source packages are downloaded via this command; it does not
affect regular Debian package installation and upgrading.
(CVE-2014-0478)

It was discovered that APT incorrectly handled the Verify-Host
configuration option. If a remote attacker were able to perform a
man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to steal
repository credentials. This only relevant for systems that use APT
sources on https connections (requires the apt-transport-https package
to be installed). (CVE-2011-3634)

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in apt version 0.8.10.3+squeeze2
