NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apt package and not the apt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

APT before 1.0.4 does not properly validate source packages, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to download and install Trojan horse packages by removing the Release signature.
