Package: apt
Version: 1.3~rc1
Severity: important
Tags: security
Control: fixed -1 1.7.0~alpha1

apt, starting with 1.3~rc1, and prior to 1.7.0~alpha1, generates a
SRV request when trying to use the Tor proxy, asking the DNS server
SRV _socks._tcp.localhost.

This might cause information to be leaked that the user is about to
use tor for Debian package installation, as no other tool is likely to perform
such queries.

This was reported as already fixed in our main branch to have a record
of it for backporting to older branches. As supposedly all the
backporting that will be done for this has happened and our BTS has
version tracking we can confidently close this report for good as it has
served its purpose.
