Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions APT versions prior to 0.8.15.2

Description The issue arises from the lack of proper validation of inline GPG signatures, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to install modified packages. This can occur through vectors involving the lack of an initial clearsigned message.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.8.15.2, update to version 0.8.15.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting package installations to trusted sources and verifying the integrity of packages through alternative means until the update can be applied.
