Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in APT, the well-known dpkg frontend. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2009-1300 In time zones where daylight savings time occurs at midnight, the apt cron.daily script fails, stopping new security updates from being applied automatically.

  • CVE-2009-1358 A repository that has been signed with an expired or revoked OpenPGP key would still be considered valid by APT.
