Hello Anil

It seems this CVE is not fixed upstream, so the not-applicable tag must
also be applied to master and wrynose

please submit patches for those two branches and then ping here

thanks a lot
Jeremy

Details: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2011-3374

The vulnerability is a design-level flaw in the legacy apt-key utility regarding
the global trust model of GPG keys.

This is marked as not-applicable-config because apt-key net-update is
disabled by default, and Debian vendor configuration does not define the
archive keyring URI required to use that path. Ignore this CVE in this
recipe due to this configuration.
