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.

Two regression fixes were included in this update :

  • Fix regression from the previous update in DSA-3025-1 when the custom apt configuration option for Dir::state::lists is set to a relative path (#762160).
  • Fix regression in the reverification 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.
