Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'apt' package(s) announced via the DSA-3048-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Guillem Jover discovered that the changelog retrieval functionality in apt-get used temporary files in an insecure way, allowing a local user to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten.
