CVE-2014-0487 [HIGH] APT vulnerabilities
Title: APT vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in APT.
It was discovered that APT did not re-verify downloaded files when the

It was discovered that APT did not invalidate repository data when it
switched from an unauthenticated to an authenticated state. (CVE-2014-0488)

skip checksum validation. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and

It was discovered that APT did not correctly validate signatures when
manually downloading packages using the download command. This issue only
