Details

USN-2746-1 fixed a vulnerability in Simple Streams. The update caused a regression preventing MAAS from downloading PXE images. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

It was discovered that Simple Streams did not properly perform gpg verification in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack and inject malicious content into the stream.
