python-apt Does Not Check Hash Signature

Quick fix

GHSA-pj65-3pf6-c5q4 — python-apt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'python-apt>=0.8.3ubuntu7.5'

Details

Python-apt doesn't check if hashes are signed in `Version.fetch_binary()` and `Version.fetch_source()` of apt/package.py or in `_fetch_archives()` of apt/cache.py in version 1.9.3ubuntu2 and earlier. This allows downloads from unsigned repositories which shouldn't be allowed and has been fixed in verisions 1.9.5, 1.9.0ubuntu1.2, 1.6.5ubuntu0.1, 1.1.0~beta1ubuntu0.16.04.7, 0.9.3.5ubuntu3+esm2, and 0.8.3ubuntu7.5.
