Descriptions

rpmbuild in RPM 4.8.0 and earlier does not properly parse the syntax of spec files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to remove home directories via vectors involving a ;~ (semicolon tilde) sequence in a Name tag.

rpmbuild en RPM v4.8.0 y anteriores no parse adecuadamente la sintáxis de archivos spec, lo que permite a atacantes asistidos por usuarios borrar directorios home a través de vectores relacionando una secuencia ;~ (punto y coma tilde) en la etiqueta Name.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in RPM, possibly allowing local attackers to gain elevated privileges or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 4.9.1.3 are affected.
