A flaw was found in the
apt key module, which does not properly verify key fingerprints. This allows a remote adversary to create an OpenPGP key that matches the short key ID and inject this key instead of the correct key.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.2.0, update to version 2.2.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
apt key module until a patch is available. Restrict access to the apt key module to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
