Descriptions

RPM 4.4.x through 4.9.x, probably before 4.9.1.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an rpm package with crafted headers and offsets that are not properly handled when a package is queried or installed, related to (1) the regionSwab function, (2) the headerLoad function, and (3) multiple functions in rpmio/rpmpgp.c.

RPM v4.4.x hasta v4.9.x, probablemente antes de v4.9.1.2, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un paquete RPM con cabeceras manipuladas y "offsets" que no son manipulados correctamente cuando un paquete es consultado o instalado, relacionado con (1) la función regionSwab, (2) la función headerLoad, y (3) múltiples funciones en rpmio/rpmpgp.c.
