    Package : apt
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-6273

    The Google Security Team discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in
    the HTTP transport code in apt-get. An attacker able to
    man-in-the-middle a HTTP request to an apt repository can trigger the
    buffer overflow, leading to a crash of the 'http' apt method binary, or potentially to arbitrary code execution.

    Two regression fixes were included in this update:

    * Fix regression from the previous update in DSA-3025-1 when the custom
    apt configuration option for Dir::state::lists is set to a relative
    path (#762160).

    * Fix regression in the reverificaiton handling of cdrom: sources that
    may lead to incorrect hashsum warnings. Affected users need to run
    "apt-cdrom add" again after the update was applied.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.7.9+deb7u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apt packages.
