Package : apt
Version : 0.8.10.3+squeeze5
CVE ID : CVE-2014-6273

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.

The following regression fixes were included in this update:

  • Fix regression from the previous update in DLA-53-1 when the custom
    apt configuration option for Dir::state::lists is set to a relative
    path (#762160).

  • Fix regression in the reverificaiton handling of cdrom: sources that
    may lead to incorrect hashsum warnings. Affected users need to run
    "apt-cdrom add" again after the update was applied.

  • Fix regression from the previous update in DLA-53-1 when file:///
    sources are used and those are on a different partition than the apt
    state directory.
