    Summary: Ansible apt_key module does not properly verify key fingerprint

    Details: A flaw was found in Ansible before version 2.2.0.0. The `apt_key` module does not properly verify key fingerprints, allowing remote adversary to create an OpenPGP key which matches the short key ID and inject this key instead of the correct key.
