CVE-2012-0944

Publication date 2 April 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Aptdaemon 0.43 and earlier in Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, and 12.04 LTS does not authenticate packages when the transaction is not simulated, which allows remote attackers to install arbitrary packages via a man-in-the-middle attack.
