    Package : apt
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-7206
    Debian Bug : 763780

    Guillem Jover discovered that the changelog retrieval functionality in
    apt-get used temporary files in an insecure way, allowing a local user
    to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten.

    This vulnerability is neutralized by the fs.protected_symlinks setting in
    the Linux kernel, which is enabled by default in Debian 7 Wheezy and up.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.7.9+deb7u6.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.0.9.2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apt packages.
