[Bug 1829861] Re: handle TLS session renegotiation

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.6.12 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  TLS sessions can renegotiate keys, but APT does not support it; meaning their HTTPS connections stop working.

  [Test case]
  We don't really have a reproducer. You'd need a server that re-negotiates by path; e.g. because it requires a a certain client certificate for a certain path.

  We know it does not break other use cases, having run that for quite
  some time in eoan and Debian stretch, and the patch was tested by the
  patch submitter @ Akamai (see https://github.com/Debian/apt/pull/93).

  [Regression potential]
  - Could we get stuck on renegotiation?
