    CVE-2009-1358

    Published: 21 Apr 2009Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: 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error code from gpgv, which causes apt to treat a repository as valid even when it has been signed with a key that has been revoked or expired, which might allow remote attackers to trick apt into installing malicious repositories.
