2018-02-19Check that Date of Release file is not in the futureJulian Andres Klode
By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as a valid update for a repository. This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking, if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted." Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

2017-10-22Sandbox methods with seccomp-BPF; except cdrom, gpgv, rshJulian Andres Klode
This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about 350 or so, significantly reducing security risks. Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends package for travis. We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it somewhere else.

2017-06-28fail instead of warn on insecure repositories in apt-getDavid Kalnischkies
The exception was made to give (script) users a one-release grace period to adapt their setup to deal with apt enforcing signing of repositories. As we are now at the start of a new release cycle its as good a time as any to lift it now. Removes-Exception: 952ee63b0af14a534c0aca00c11d1a99be6b22b2

2016-11-25gpgv: Untrust SHA1, RIPE-MD/160, but allow downgrading to weakJulian Andres Klode
Change the trust level check to allow downgrading an Untrusted option to weak (APT::Hashes::SHA1::Weak "yes";), so it prints a warning instead of an error; and change the default values for SHA1 and RIPE-MD/160 from Weak to Untrusted.
