Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Aptdaemon version 0.40

Description The issue is related to an absolute path traversal vulnerability in the org.debian.apt.UpdateCachePartially method in worker.py. This vulnerability allows local users to read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the sources list argument, which is related to the D-Bus interface.

Recommendations For Aptdaemon version 0.40, consider restricting access to the org.debian.apt.UpdateCachePartially method in the D-Bus interface until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the sources list argument with full pathnames in the affected API endpoint.
