Bug description:
apt, starting with version 0.8.15, decodes target URLs of redirects,
but does not check them for newlines, allowing MiTM attackers (or
repository mirrors) to inject arbitrary headers into the result
returned to the main process.
If the URL embeds hashes of the supposed file, it can thus be used to
disable any validation of the downloaded file, as the fake hashes will
be prepended in front of the right hashes.
