<br>
a security flaw was discovered in apt that allows a remote man in the<br>
middle attacker to inject a malicious package that will be installed by<br>
root.<br>
<br>
Use '-o Acquire::http::AllowRedirect=false' option for apt tools to<br>
disable the redirect that's vulnerable in order to install the updates.<br>
<br>
Also, use upgrade rather than dist-upgrade or full-upgrade for now to<br>
prevent installation of packages that aren't already installed.<br>
<br>
In fact, perhaps look at the upgrade list and specifically install the apt<br>
packages from it.<br>
<br>
Disabling AllowRedirect has been working for me with both debian and<br>
Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
--<br>
apt -o Acquire::http::AllowRedirect=false update<br>
apt -o Acquire::http::AllowRedirect=false upgrade<br>
