Descriptions

APT before 1.0.9 does not verify downloaded files if they have been modified as indicated using the If-Modified-Since header, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

APT anterior a 1.0.9 no verifica ficheros descargados si han sido modificados como indica utilizando la cabecera If-Modified-Since, lo que tiene un impacto y vectores de ataque no especificados.

It was discovered that APT did not re-verify downloaded files when the If-Modified-Since wasn't met. It was discovered that APT did not invalidate repository data when it switched from an unauthenticated to an authenticated state. It was discovered that the APT Acquire::GzipIndexes option caused APT to skip checksum validation. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and was not enabled by default. Various other issues were also addressed.
