2016-04-04 16:49:21 Dimitri John Ledkov summary foo /install/filesystem.squashfs should be signed
2016-04-04 16:55:59 Dimitri John Ledkov description foo Prior to xenial, /install/filesystem.squashfs would only be used from a locally booted and mounted media. In xenial, the live-installer package was extended to automatically search a mirror, download remotely and use filesystem.squashfs. Before xenial, such actions were only performed upon explicit user request and from user supplied url. Given that this is now done automatically, it is prudent to gpg sign and validate such downloads prior to them being used. Otherwise an avenue is opened for a "rogue" mirror to have a valid verbantim mirror of the apt archive, yet a modified filesystem.squashfs which unmodified verified d-i could be blindly using. Ideally live-installer would simply use secure apt download facility of arbitrary files with gpg signature verification, but I doubt that anna currently supports that.
