Descriptions

APT before 1.0.9 does not "invalidate repository data" when moving from an unauthenticated to authenticated state, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via crafted repository data.

APT anterior a 1.0.9 no 'invalida los datos del repositorio' cuando se traslada de un estado no autenticado a uno autenticado, lo que permite a atacantes remotos tener un impacto no especificado a través de datos del repositorio manipulados.

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.
