apt: incorrect gpg exit status checking when verifying repository signature
Published Apr 21, 2009
10.0
HIGHCVSS 2.0
EPSS 4.48%
Description
apt-get in apt before 0.7.21 does not check for the correct error code from gpgv, which causes apt to treat a repository as valid even when it has been signed with a key that has been revoked or expired, which might allow remote attackers to trick apt into installing malicious repositories.
