CVE-2013-1051

Publication date 14 March 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

High

Why this priority?

apt 0.8.16, 0.9.7, and possibly other versions does not properly handle InRelease files, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to modify packages before installation via unknown vectors, possibly related to integrity checking and the use of third-party repositories.
