CVE-2012-0962 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:12.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream aptdaemon package and not the aptdaemon package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Aptdaemon 0.43 in Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 LTS uses short IDs when importing PPA GPG keys from a keyserver, which allows remote attackers to install arbitrary package repository GPG keys via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
