python-apt (1.1.0~beta1ubuntu0.16.04.7) xenial-security; urgency=medium
* SECURITY UPDATE: Check that repository is trusted before downloading
files from it (LP: #1858973)
- apt/cache.py: Add checks to fetch_archives() and commit()
- apt/package.py: Add checks to fetch_binary() and fetch_source()
- CVE-2019-15796
* SECURITY UPDATE: Do not use MD5 for verifying downloadeds
(Closes: #944696) (#LP: #1858972)
- apt/package.py: Use all hashes when fetching packages, and
check that we have trusted hashes when downloading
- CVE-2019-15795
* To work around the new checks, the parameter allow_unauthenticated=True
can be passed to the functions. It defaults to the value of the
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated option.
- Bump Breaks aptdaemon (<< 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu14.2), as it will have
to set that parameter after having done validation.
* Necessary backports:
- turn elements in apt_pkg.SourceRecords.files into a class, rather than
a tuple (w/ legacy compat), so we can get to their hashes
- add apt_pkg.HashStringList
- add apt_pkg.Hashes.hashes
* Automatic changes and fixes for external regressions:
- Adjustments to test suite and CI to fix CI regressions
- Automatic mirror list update
