Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1475-1

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1475-1
Posted Jun 16, 2012
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 1475-1 - Georgi Guninski discovered that APT relied on GnuPG argument order and did not check GPG subkeys when validating imported keyrings via apt-key net-update. While it appears that a man-in-the-middle attacker cannot exploit this, as a hardening measure this update adjusts apt-key to validate all subkeys when checking for key collisions.
