AI-suggested
Avoid processing or extracting RPM packages from untrusted sources. Do not run rpm2cpio, rpm2archive, or rpm -qlvp on RPM files whose origin and integrity cannot be verified. Monitor vendor advisories for patches or updates. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the advisory; check Red Hat's official advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the RPM Package Manager (rpm) when parsing a symlink entry in an untrusted RPM package with a crafted RPMTAG_LONGFILESIZES value. This integer overflow causes a buffer to shrink to one byte, allowing an attacker-controlled write past the buffer's end. The flaw can be triggered locally by running rpm2cpio, rpm2archive, or rpm -qlvp on a malicious RPM package. Exploitation requires local user interaction and use of these tools on untrusted packages.
