An apt vuln was released today, see these links:

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2019/msg00010.html
   https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-3462
   https://justi.cz/security/2019/01/22/apt-rce.html?

Since the vulnerability is in the package manager itself, updating is
non-trivial.

Here is a small ansible playbook + script to update apt securely. It
only works on debian stable (stretch).

commentary: yet another pretty good reason to use HTTPS apt sources by
default. any chance this vuln will change the zealots' mind?
