debian CWE-119
6.8
2014-06-17 CVE-2014-0478 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Debian Advanced Package Tool

2013-03-21 CVE-2013-1051 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
apt 0.8.16, 0.9.7, and possibly other versions does not properly handle InRelease files, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to modify packages before installation via unknown vectors, possibly related to integrity checking and the use of third-party repositories.

2012-12-26 CVE-2012-0961 Information Exposure vulnerability in Debian Advanced Package Tool and APT
Apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.x before 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.6, 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.x before 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.7, and 0.9.7.5ubuntu5.x before 0.9.7.5ubuntu5.2, as used in Ubuntu, uses world-readable permissions for /var/log/apt/term.log, which allows local users to obtain sensitive shell information by reading the log file.

2.1
2012-06-19 CVE-2012-3587 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Debian Advanced Package Tool
APT 0.7.x before 0.7.25 and 0.8.x before 0.8.16, when using the apt-key net-update to import keyrings, relies on GnuPG argument order and does not check GPG subkeys, which might allow remote attackers to install Trojan horse packages via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

2012-06-19 CVE-2012-0954 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Debian Advanced Package Tool
APT 0.7.x before 0.7.25 and 0.8.x before 0.8.16, when using the apt-key net-update to import keyrings, relies on GnuPG argument order and does not check GPG subkeys, which might allow remote attackers to install altered packages via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

2011-07-27 CVE-2011-1829 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
APT before 0.8.15.2 does not properly validate inline GPG signatures, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to install modified packages via vectors involving lack of an initial clearsigned message.
4.3
2009-04-21 CVE-2009-1358 Unspecified vulnerability in Debian Advanced Package Tool and APT
apt-get in apt before 0.7.21 does not check for the correct error code from gpgv, which causes apt to treat a repository as valid even when it has been signed with a key that has been revoked or expired, which might allow remote attackers to trick apt into installing malicious repositories.
