CVE-2018-0501 APT vulnerability
Title: APT vulnerability
Summary: An attacker could trick APT into installing altered packages.
It was discovered that APT incorrectly handled the mirror method
(mirror://). If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle
attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install altered packages in
environments configured to use mirror:// entries.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
