CVE-2014-0478 APT vulnerability
Title: APT vulnerability
Summary: An attacker could trick APT into installing altered source packages.
Jakub Wilk discovered that APT did not correctly validate signatures when
downloading source packages. If a remote attacker were able to perform a
machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install
altered source packages.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
