Severity: Normal Title: RPM: Buffer overflow Date: November 13, 2006 Bugs: #154218 ID: 200611-08

Synopsis ========
RPM is vulnerable to a buffer overflow and possibly the execution of arbitrary code when opening specially crafted packages.
Background ==========
The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-arch/rpm < 4.4.6-r3 >= 4.4.6-r3
Description ===========
Vladimir Mosgalin has reported that when processing certain packages, RPM incorrectly allocates memory for the packages, possibly causing a heap-based buffer overflow.
Impact ======
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted RPM package and execute code with the privileges of that user if certain locales are set.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All RPM users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3"
