DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for software-properties. This fixes a
security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
spoofing attacks.
The security issue is caused due to the "apt-add-repository" tool not
properly validating PPA GPG keys when importing from a keyserver and
can be exploited to install malicious package repository GPG keys via
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
