It was discovered that APT incorrectly handled certain http URLs. If a
remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw
could be exploited to cause APT to crash, resulting in a denial of service,
or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for
affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-6273)
In addition, this update fixes regressions introduced by the USN-2348-1
security update: APT incorrectly handled file:/// sources on a different
partition, incorrectly handled Dir::state::lists set to a relative path,
and incorrectly handled cdrom: sources.
