And if I’m using synaptic, how do I set those options? The only place I’ve
found is for setting an internal option…
Oh, wait - how about /etc/apt/apt.conf?
I don’t seem to have one, can I simply create it and put something like:
APT {
Get {
Acquire::http::AllowRedirect “false”;
};
};
And be good?

moin moin,
a security flaw was discovered in apt that allows a remote man in the
middle attacker to inject a malicious package that will be installed by
root.
Use '-o Acquire::http::AllowRedirect=false' option for apt tools to
disable the redirect that's vulnerable in order to install the updates.
