Yes, software can be modified in transit. See the 1995 paper

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/papers/endpoint-security.html

" These work because the trusted path to executables is really not trustworthy in most environments. Although we use on-the-wire patching to compromise executables, the client binaries can also be compromised during download, by on-the-wire patching of FTP or HTTP transfers. "
