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.

|
<p>
|
|
Vladimir Mosgalin has reported that when processing certain packages,
|
|
RPM incorrectly allocates memory for the packages, possibly causing a
|
|
heap-based buffer overflow.
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All RPM users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3"</code>
